[Stone shield on]
For god sake stop whining!
The CAA are perfectly right to say what they have....lets face it, how many pilots *really* look at the correct publications before they phone the CAA and ask them? Its *those* callers they are complaining about....
Those people who dont know what LASORS is, those who dont read WHITE AICs, (nor probably any for that matter), those who never read the GIDs...those to whom the ANO is something the government use as a fly swatter and they certainly wouldnt be caught even peeking inside because you need a lawyer to venture in there dont you?
All these are now online - and the online reference IS the most up to date reference.
Whilst you and I may well phone them up when we have a genuine unanswered issue, they are complaining about the many hoards who dont seem to know how to find out things for themselves....you will be amazed at how simple some questions are...
Lets face it - how many times do the magazines publish articles on revalidation.....hmmm....its not because the CAA havent made the information available...its because there are too many people too damn lazy to read the information that is available...
Now...hands up here who owns a copy of LASORS (my hand is up)....come on - no excuses only £5.....well?

OK folks....start throwing!
