CAA changes would ‘devastate’ microlight flying 20th May 2021 9:22 Europe/London Changes proposed by the CAA to the way Permit Inspectors are appointed and validated would be ‘devastating’ to microlight flying in the UK, according to the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA). The BMAA has responded to the CAA’s CAP553 consultation on the way the Permit aircraft are managed in the UK. Both the BMAA and the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) take on the bulk of this work. Like the LAA, the BMAA cites how the proposed changes have circumvented the usual channels of discussion between the associations and the CAA.
