tuc:-
with the appointment of the new CAS, it has been very noticeable that MoD's approach has changed, at long last.
Then time is of the essence and cannot be wasted with yet more new initiatives and yet more sign writing within the MOD. Too many people have died, and too many lives are still at risk. UK Military Airworthiness Provision must come under an external and independent Regulator, headed by a civilian DG (though still call it the MAA by all means).
Ditto all that for the MilAAIB, which must also be independent of the MAA.
Then and only then can the long and weary business begin of making the CAS's fleets airworthy again.
Self Regulation Doesn't Work and in Aviation It Kills!
