Many thanks ,keep the aircraft up in the air safely,
"This from Mark Jefferies - Display Pilot ( Organiser of annual Children In need Dispaly, Little Gransden)
Authority and responsibility
Is the over reaction based upon advice from Lawyers that said you are (CAA) liable?
CAA cashed the cheque, read the application, looked at the organisers submitted map and issued their own map and air show permission.
CAA looked at the list of submitted acts/ aircraft on the application and issued the permission.
CAA cashed the cheque and certified the aircraft.
CAA cashed the cheque and issued the DA
CAA cashed the cheque and issued a "Aircraft Type Rating Exemption" for permission to fly an aircraft "without being the holder of an appropriate type rating". (This is to do with Permit to Fly jet aircraft)
CAA approved (dont know if there is a fee involved) the DAE to act on their behalf
CAA cashed the cheque and granted the AME a licence to medicaly evaluate pilots
So, to reduce liability you pass the buck. i.e. make everyone else liable except yourself
To reduce the risk you reduce the number of shows
To reduce the number of qualified pilots you make it an unattractive profession
With reducing the number of shows increases the cost burden on those remaining (CAA will only reluctantly and slowly reduce staffing as managers need people to manage-pay structure etc)
With costs increasing it will be like a J curve on those remaining
All this has happened once before in history. People cut down the trees to move the giant heads (Easter Island) with no trees they could not support themselves and as a race they slowly but surely died out. Returning the island to a barren landscape
Is this the intended future our CAA would like?
There is a very significant industry with many jobs created in the UK restoring very historic aircraft for future genarations, lest we forget why these aircraft were built in the first place. The end user (temporary owner) recovers a small amount of his ownership costs flying air shows. Has the CAA done a projected jobs lost analysis of there proposed actions?
Authority without responsibility.
There are some sencible suggestions in the document but it does not justify 100% + cost in fees and an aditional post show tax.
Be it in this instance (Shoreham) or a multitude of other unfortunate disasters we (as a body and country) should all be on the same side pulling together for the better of everybody.
