The CAA’s consultation into the de-regulation of single seat microlight aircraft is now live. Responses can be made at <a href=’http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1350&pagetype=90&pageid=15117′ target=’_blank’>this link.</a>
This consultation, which will run until 1 November, will, if successful, extend the present single seat deregulated (SSDR) category, introduced in 2007, to include all single seat microlight aircraft as defined within Annex II Article 4(4).
All such aircraft would then be able to be designed and constructed either privately or commercially without the airworthiness oversight of either a member association or the CAA. <a href=’http://www.flyer.co.uk/aviation-news/newsfeed.php?artnum=1654′ target=’_blank’>Read more here…</a>
