Red tape reduction in GA? - your opportunity

[146fixer]

Hi all I just posted this in the engineers forum but thought it would be good to post here to. Theres something called the Red Tape Challenge going on. Its a government scheme thats looking at ways of cutting red tape and bureaucracy during day to day life. At present the theme is General aviation. Sounds like a good idea. Some of the responses are coming across as moaning and not very constructive so far. By the way I am in no way connected with the challenge.

The Red Tape Challenge

It may have been mentioned before, but here's your chance to do something, and it's still open.

Course they say they can't do much about EASA :{ - so why do we have a government?:uhoh:

So stop complaining on PPrune and complain to the Government (as well!):ok:

so why do we have a government?We don't, what we have is a regional assembly with very limited legislative powers.

The real government is based in Brussels and Luxembourg, is entirely unlelected and is called the European Commission. The only body that can bring forward legislation in the EU is the Commission and, by virtue of bribery and other corrupt practices, it is able to manipulate the EU Parliament to nod through whatever it proposes, as was clearly demonstrated by the passage of the Aircrew Regulation.

The European Parliament and all of the individual member states' parliaments are just so much window dressing, designed to give the illusion of democracy. Consequently, the UK parliament can do nothing whatever to mitigate the adverse effects of EU legislation on GA and the 'Red Tape Challenge' is an utterly pointless distraction.

Must be at least worth giving it a go. Doesn't cost anything except a bit of time

I presume AOPA, PPL/IR, LAA, BMAA etc are all making representations?
