As we move to an ATO structure and the RF is history, how will the CAA/EASA audit these facilities?
The CAA will be forced to employ sufficient inspectors to audit every ATO at least every two years - the minimum required by EU law. Of course, the costs of this extra manpower will be passed on to the organisations in increased approval fees, which will be passed on, in turn, by the approved organisation in higher costs to its customers. As with everything else to do with EASA, you and I will pay.
