LAA
If one looks at the origional transference of CAA powers to EASA, in other countries EASA delegated light aircraft control to each countries aircraft sporting bodies. In our country the CAA trying to keep control as they were used to, and got EASA to delegate to them this control. In order to keep the thing going they, the CAA again delegated these light aircraft to the PFA and achieved their purpose of having their cake and eating it. Many licenced engineers also transfered to the light permit aircraft arena bringing with them their CAA doctrins and attitudes which is why the present LAA is so structured. If one wants to see why French and Spanish equivilent aircraft are controlled just look into what organisations were delegated EASA permissions and compare it with us. The LAA should have direct permission from EASA and NOT try to be a company.
