<p>International civil aviation is governed by the Convention on International Civil
Aviation. Under the Convention, the International Civil Aviation Organisation is responsible
for establishing the minimum safety standards for international aviation. Subject
to compliance with those international standards, the State in which the aircraft
is registered is responsible for determining what equipment it should carry. Within
the EU, aircraft equipment requirements are introduced through EU legislation adopted
on the advice of the European Aviation Safety Agency. There are currently no plans
to introduce EU legislation to require the carriage of wind shear detection and alert
systems on aircraft registered in EU Member States. We believe that this position
is reasonable because the Civil Aviation Authority is not aware of any safety case
which would justify the introduction of such a requirement.</p>
