 Consultation toward Part 145 Civil Aviation Rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)

The Authority considers that this can tend to detract from the language of the rules by placing undue emphasis on the definition when in fact it may not be the subject of the particular rule text.
The Authority concludes that in the light of comments received the majority of industry participants are in favour of the direction and general content of the new rules.
