What happens to CAP 737 CRM?

CAP 737 will be amended and become a reference only document for gaining knowledge associated with all matters CRM and will not be used for Acceptable Means of Compliance or Guidance Material. However, Standards Document 29, version 4, will be amended and offered to EASA as Acceptable Means of Compliance for both Part FCL and Part-ORO (Organisation Requirements for Air Operations). If these are accepted the document will no longer be needed as the material will be within Acceptable Means of Compliance. If it is not accepted the CAA will need to decide how to proceed, possibly going for an alternative means of compliance. In this case Document 29 will be offered to the UK.
