The CAA is considering these safety recommendations within the context of the Operation of Experimental Aircraft under E Conditions (CAP1220) review project. This project is a collaborative joint endeavour between the CAA and the Royal Aeronautical Society General Aviation Group. A Bi-Annual review of E Conditions was in planning at the time CAA received the five Safety Recommendations, so these were included within our scope of review as per our original responses to AAIB.

The project working group met for the first time in April this year and subsequently several further meetings took place during 2023, including one kindly hosted by AAIB at which the investigation team were able to discuss the accident report with the working group which proved extremely helpful in our work going forward.

At this time work is still ongoing to develop the next revision to CAP1220 guidance and we now anticipate this work will conclude in the latter part of 2024. Our intentions to address the five Safety Recommendations have not changed since our original response, only the timeline has been extended.
