Hi chainsaw, it would appear the UK CAA are aware of what they can and cannot do...So in the UK case (G reg a/c) the manufacturer will be approached by an operator to change the aircrafts flight manual.

The manufacturer will change it (for a suitable sum of course) and then most importantly submit it to the certifying authority for approval!! Only once the change has been approved will it flow back downhill via the manufacturer to the operator.

For example: A British Airbus operator would approach Airbus who would then approach EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) or there might be a possibilty the operator could do this directly?

I therefore don`t think the UK CAA are different at all - they have made it clear what you have to do. Perhaps do not regard themselves as an appropriate authority?
