There has been some discussion of the IAA's role in respect of the R116 accident. Would I be right in saying that the IAA, at that time, had no statutory authority, as it were, to oversee SAR, and that to this day it still does not have a statutory authority to oversee SAR until such time as the Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020 is passed? Is that fair?
