Remember what they said in November:
The Unit will be staffed by GA experts with knowledge and experience
appropriate to the sector. They will be responsible for implementing a
comprehensive programme of deregulation and where feasible allow the GA
sector to take on more responsibilities for its own safety. Work on a number of
initiatives has already started, such as the deregulation for airworthiness
purposes of single-seat microlights launched at the end of September, and will
continue while the new Unit is set up.
The Unit will develop a full GA reform programme that will build on and
supersede the CAA's "RA2 programme" that emerged from the review
conducted in mid-2012 of the regulatory framework applying to the sport and
recreational sector of GA. The full delivery plan will be in place by April 2014.
We have 10 weeks to wait and see. They have appointed the boss who may not fully understand GA. Hopefully, he will employ GA experts.
