I do hope that Whopity is correct, this industry is on its knees financially and more stupid over regulation is the last thing the industry needs, a little help to comply with these new rules from the UK CAA is welcome as well as being an indication that this is one regulatory step too far on the part of EASA.
I would have thought that following the complete fiasco that part M over regulation has become EASA would have realized that interfering with training system that has worked well for years was a stupid thing to do.
