The process at Weston Airport gave me some insight into how the IAA works. For example, there may have been 20 visits to Weston in a year, with 16 being notified visits and the other four being on spec. The on-spec visits are incredibly important because it is like an inspector coming to the classroom, with things being polished. What number of these takes place? Does the authority have the capacity to carry those out on spec rather than making notified visits? Is that part of the regime?
