There's a new consultation document to be found on the CAA website here:
http://www.caa.co.uk/srg/general_avi...sp?groupid=362
It's all about 'Rule 5', and whether the CAA should change it or leave it alone.
Basically, the options under consideration are:
Option 1 To leave the UK low flying rule in its present form, notwithstanding that it is difficult to interpret.
Option 2 To redraft the UK low flying rule so that it is aligned with the ICAO Rules of the Air.
Option 3 To redraft the low flying rule to make it readily understood by operational pilots, and, where possible, to align it more closely in style and content with the ICAO Rules of the Air, but allowing, where appropriate, retention of existing parameters contained in the current Rule 5.

Have your say!
We whinged when AIS changed things without consulting us, let's not be the victims of our own apathy again.
BTW, I was going to post this as a poll with the three options, but 1. it wouldn't actually mean anything to CAA, and 2. there may be a "poll-backlash"
BRL, if you think a poll is a good idea please incorporate it, but remember that to be heard you'll need to register your views to the CAA/SRG
