The CAA will publish a proposed update to the AMC and GM to Article 8 of the UK Regulation (EU) 2019/947 including multiples changes to the RPC framework as a direct result of the phase one consultation feedback. This full public consultation will run for 12 weeks and expected to commence in Q4 2023.
