What’s Different Since the Eighties

For those that were in businesses in the 1980s, they must be wondering what is different to the aviation legal framework that was so harshly criticized in findings post a number of 1980s government reviews. The current legal framework, if subjected to the same review by the same government enquiries, would most likely end up with the same findings today.

The Civil Aviation Act that set up the CAA to create a legal framework of Act, Regulations and Aviation Safety Standards was supposed to reduce the multiple requirements with ‘hidden’ quasi-regulations specified in regulatory exemptions, instruments, policy statements, procedures, etc. All the things that the government’s Best Practice Guidelines identify to eradicate. It was why the CAA proposed a two-level system, Act & Regulations, supported by advisory material, like FAA Advisory Circulars. Today is no different to pre-CAA days.

OECD: “Develop a consistent policy covering the role and functions of regulatory agencies in order to provide greater confidence that regulatory decisions are made on an objective, impartial and consistent basis, without conflict of interest, bias or improper influence.”
