Wizfox. Why don’t you and others address the simple point I am making.

That is CASA is not complying with 9 a of the act. If the most important consideration is safety why are they allowing two engined aircraft to fly on those long remote ocean crossings?

Surely a four engined aircraft with the same safety features as the twin would be safer?

In this case they are giving the most important consideration not to safety but to affordability .

Why don’t they admit that? Why the deviousness?
