In response to the Government’s Red Tape Challenge and the steps the CAA is taking to remove unnecessary regulation and bureaucracy from the GA community, the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) has announced its own Change Challenge.
A statement from the LAA explained, ‘Whilst it is easy to look at others and quickly identify faults and failings – it is after all human nature – it is often much harder to examine ourselves for those areas which need improvement or a rethink. We think that the continuing high levels of activity and energy in the LAA scene, and fair comparison with the situation in neighbouring countries, shows that we’ve got it about right, but no business should rest on its laurels and with so much change presently in the air we have decided that we should open our own consultation, the LAA Change Challenge. ‘Members will have the opportunity to share with the board, the staff and other members, their thoughts and ideas on what perhaps needs to be changed at the LAA. The consultation is open to comments on any aspect of the association from magazine editorial to the Pilot Coaching Scheme, Strut and club governance to engineering practices, in fact any topic you feel needs attention.
Full details of how to participate in the consultation are available <a href=’www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/changechallenge.html’ target=’_blank’>here.</a>
The consultation opened on 1 February 2014 and will run until 28 February 2014. The LAA will collate the input and publish a full response to the consultation on 31 March 2014.
