I would like to point out while you all think the CAA and EASA system Is impressive, it is far from it, it has become a overburdened bloatware driven by beurocrats whose main task appears to be to to generate legislation and paperwork which at the end of the day does nothing to increase safety nor productivity, increasing the legislative burden does not increase safety, it simply means those that play by the rules are penalised, while those that don't will not change simply because someone has stuck another layer of regulation on them.
The whole idea of EASA was to make a single playing field, however EASA of late on several issues have pushed it out to individual authorities to decide their course of actions, defeating the prime objective behind its existence, 8.33 radios being one of them.
As for the military conforming to airworthiness standards, well that has to be a none starter by their very operational requirements, I would love to see an airworthiness standard that covers BDR.
