CAA FCL, promoting safety?
Apologies if this has appeared in another thread, I did a brief search and could not find it.
Like many of you I received the letter from the CAA head of licensing telling me I would have to exchange my UK licence which was sold on the basis of valid for life to a new EASA one probably with a cost attached.
Now here is my real beef, the tone of the letter.basically it said the rules are changing, its up to you to find out how and when, don't call us because we are clueless and if you don't find it for your self you can not fly.
What exactly is the purpose of the CAA? is that the attitude to promote safety? maybe EASA is the way if that is the contempt with which the CAA hold their customers.
I accept my responsibilities but it is time certain managers in the CAA accept theirs! I ave seen many arguments for the regulation of GA going to other bodies. I am beginning o become an advocate of that line
