SFCL – further important consultation
In March 2024, the CAA launched a 10-week public consultation seeking stakeholder views on proposed changes to licences and ratings across the GA aircraft categories. There was a strong response from the sailplane community. As a result, working with the BGA, the CAA has made several proposals to Government to amend the UK SFCL implementing rules.
The detailed SFCL Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM) associated with the changes described above have been drafted by the CAA and are now subject to a new consultation that closes on the 6th May 2025.
It is important that the proposed changes are supported. The BGA offers the following guidance to clubs and their members.
