Who issues these rules?
Aviation safety rules, like those for airworthiness directives, are primarily set by national aviation authorities such as the UK's CAA or the US's FAA. These bodies ensure airlines and aircraft meet strict safety standards. International bodies like EASA in Europe also play a crucial role, often collaborating to create consistent global regulations, aiming to prevent incidents like the one involving Mr Karovic.
