Am I?

Am I the only person who considers that the CAA (in present form) has outlived its purpose? Actually that is a poor choice of wording. As an organisation it obviously still has a function to perform, it’s the form of the CAA organisation which is well past its sell by date. They appear to bow to pressure from the airlines whilst doing as little for GA as they can get away with. They also appear to make regulations just because they can. We are constantly told the change is for improved safety when results from around the worldwide piloting fraternity indicate that the opposite is true. I fear the nickname ‘Campaign Against Aviation’ is increasingly justified to the extent that it should now be their official title.
I’m sure that others can see the faults with the CAA as it stands as well as I (a non-pilot). Having said that, like all things faulty, there is no point in changing it for the sake of change. the changes would need to effect real improvement to be worthwhile.
