Committee Against Aviation (CAA for short)

Are they winning again?

Battersea Heliport - 8 parking spots reduced to 3!

Silverstone North Area - 17 landing spots reduced to 8! After 17 years of safe operation?

Why the sudden imposition of ICAO Annex 14?

Who IS Gordon Bradley?

Common knowledge among onshore operators.
Aerodrome Standards wagging a big stick.
We need to fight back.

I'm sorry if my comment comes at you as if I am a complete numpty who knows nothing...but I have been out of the loop (on medical grounds) for 5 months and haven't seen any letters or AIC's reflecting this change .....so instead of making me feel like I'm an idiot please advise me of a reference detailing the changes. This is the reason for me using the forum....if you can't help me maybe someone more understanding might!

EDEN - Good question, bluntly phrased.
No AIC's as far as I am aware but Battersea has already been re-painted. Heli's holding outside the London Zone for up to 15 minutes already, awaiting space. Epsom / Ascot should be fun!
Silverstone relented, back to 16 spots but new procedures imposed to ensure no hovering on adjacent spots.
Try landing at Gatwick - runway slots now required day or night.
SRG Aerodrome Standards appear to be the problem by stomping with hobnail boots instead of consultation to mitigate new ideas.
Glad you have returned to active duty. Join the fight.
