The CAA need to stop being so toothless and properly audit ALL GA companies
To stop this culture of "just get on with it, the last crew did".
The problem there is, so long as the weight of the paperwork = the weight of the aircraft the CAA seem happy to let things continue. Lets face it, all companies know when an audit is approaching so they make sure their house is in the best possible order so that most likely they get away with a couple of small findings.

That doesn't mean the root cause of the problem is fixed only that a sticky plaster has contained the problem until the next audit, incident or accident.

I wonder if they send their crew to the simulator every 6 months or is all training done on the aircraft, in which case they may have never experienced such a failure, and thats another topic, training.

I'm well aware of how companies prepare for an audit havin witnessed the whole charade many times.

That is why I said 'properly'.

Turn up unannounced, don't give these companies a chance to make everything rosy. Catch them unprepared.
