The CAA have always issued the C of A for this country, the difference now is they will not be under the umbrella EASA.
As we are held in the highest esteem worldwide for our aviation safety I would suggest it will not be an issue. Having held CAA JAA and FAA (extension) Engineering Licences I can confirm the CAA have always been the best authority in this regard.
On first doesn't seem to make much sense,
Regulations are in the main from ICAO anyway, so not to much difference.
It will limit Engineers ability though to say take a contract with DHL in Leipzig, who will require EASA licence. maybe they'll offer a dispensation? Could be quite a big deal if moving away from EASA curbs 5th freedom rights?
Whilst I agree with you, the UK safety record is outstanding, not sure I entirely share your sentiment about the CAA, bit wooden, antiquated. The IAA were far more pragmatic. But if that's the decision, cest la vie. New passport, new licence.
I don't entirely agree that regulations are in the main from ICAO. The CAP493 (Mats Part 1) by which Air Traffic Control is regulated in the UK, differs in many significant ways from ICAO. Indeed controllers going through training are taught the ICAO regulations as part of the Basic Course and then retrained on UK procedures as part of the Aerodrome and Approach rating courses

I wasn't refering to ATC of which reasonsble variations occur across Europe. I worked on a CAP413 doc a while ago with ATC colleagues for my employer, and the differences across Europe are many!
For safety regs, It is ICAO that generally promulgates SARPS, which in turn are then implemented by EASA for which national AA's must regulate to mirror EASA or be more restrictive if required. EASA then policing national AA compliance through audit.
It will just mean the UK taking SARPS directly from ICAO.
i'm sure the dispensation will be forthcoming. I'm well out of it these days but back in my day most international regulations adopted by other countries fell between us and America. Working under the FAA regulations was eye opening. Basically as long as you signed, counter-signed and signed the counter signature, they didn't gave jackshit about the state of the aircraft, which in my experience were in an awful condition. In fact we grounded them regularly.
Back then under the CAA we were not allowed to sign off (final inspection) of our own work. The FAA you could, against most of our better judgement this was also adopted later under JAR145 by the CAA.
It was believed though we over engineered our aircraft and as technology advanced the extent of servicing was reduced as less things needed inspecting and changed. I cut my teeth on BAC 1-11's, shimming up flap tracks and alike. Each bearing needing to be greased. Good old proper engineering. Nothing like that now.
Wow, it's been a long time since I learnt about SARPs, ICAO annexes and supplements etc.
Does EASA currently have the power to audit AA's under the agreement, I was under the impression that ICAO follow the USOAP with individual authorities.
Nothing quite like the sound of the 1-11 BS75's...... I trust, unlike BA, you put the front windshield bolts in correctly. No flight deck hanging out the window!
