Agreed.
The MAA won't admit why it is writing these new regs. It is because MoD has been dumbed down. To someone of my age and background, understanding and implementing them was something you did in the 4 or 5 grades before you became a project manager. Today, most skip those grades, and there is no one left to train them when parachuted into the minefield. Industry and MoD's technical authors realised this many years ago, and started having to rethink how they wrote publications. They could no longer assume the previous levels of competence.
One aspect of this case proves my point. The report recommends aircraft publications should be in English, not Russian. In 1992, the RAF Director of Flight Safety recommended they be in English, not Argentinian. 25 years!
