That’s all very well but the legislation clearly does not reflect that position. And it’s obvious that in some cases the statement “Safety is CASAs highest priority” is not complied with.

If you look at the CASA class G paper they refer to the “ most important consideration must be safety “ cargo cult statement.

However most posters here state that does not count for airline passenger operations. In that case CASA clearly puts cost in front.

Why else would they allow cheaper twin engined aircraft to fly over big oceans at night?
