Lead Balloon / Sunfish, I believe that the ever growing complexity of the Regulations prove only one thing - the industry is trying to legislate against stupidity. In my limited time in GA, there are a number of ATSB reports which could be summarised as "The Pilot In Command was being a dick, and doing sh!t that the PIC was not trained, competent and confident to do. #gameover"
I also believe that the ever growing complexity of the Regulations is fuelled by a growing number of consultants. Gotta keep coming up with ever more fanciful risks which must be addressed according to these lengthy procedures (which I am happy to write for you at the bargain basement price of $2500 per day).
Instead of the common sense approach of saying - the chances of this happening are 1 in a million, you have more chance of winning Lotto.
I agree, aroa - GA is in a worse condition that a hooker during Fleet Week!
