Tell us what you think should happen to these regulations and why, being specific where possible:
- Should we scrap them altogether?
- Could their purpose be achieved in a non-regulatory way (eg through a voluntary code?) How?
- Could they be reformed, simplified or merged? How?
- Can we reduce their bureaucracy through better implementation? How?
- Can we make their enforcement less burdensome? How?
- Should they be left as they are?

I think the CAA should reduce the size of the class A airspace around Heathrow. It does not reflect the space actually needed by modern CAT aircraft.
We could scrap many of the restricted airspaces round airports as the climb performance and space needed by modern aircraft does not need so much space, GA is cramped into dangerous funnels as a result
Also we should make it mandatory to fit air bags in GA as in cars, it would save a lot of livesComment Tags: airbags, Contolled airspace
