Can I ask where the idea that the CAA will fine you as soon as look at you (or
your radar trace!) comes from? Has anybody here been fined, or know anybody who
has? Or any sort of enforcement action?
I work for a private jet operator as my day job, and a flying school at
weekends;
and I have been involved in 3 airspace infringement investigations (not me!)
In all of them the CAA simply asked for an explanation of events and advised
more care in the future. I have heard of additional training being advised for
other cases I was not involved in.
They have a clear Enforcement Policy which is available for all to see on their
website - http://www.caa.co.uk/enforcement.
In it they talk about "just culture" and "proportionate and risk-based approach"
... I have found this to be true in any dealings I have had with them.
The CAA will not punish a genuine lapse of concentration of lack of expertise -
but they will look unfavourably on wilful stupidity or blatant flouting of the
law.
I have found them to be slow, inflexible and frustratingly uncompromising, but
not vindictive or petty - anybody have any other experiences?
