1. Get this simplified scenic flights model up and flying. (And get rid of that RAA scenic flights mascarading as trial instructional flights nonsense. ). AOC costs and time demands is a huge roadblock to small business startups.
Good idea!

Get instructors untied from AOC requirements.
They already sort of are. It took just 6 weeks and $2500 for me to get a "one man band" Part 141 flying school up and running using the CASA ops manual and syllabus

Give RAA simple low cost opportunities to be trained up for Controlled Airspace.
They already have that, all they need to do is get a CASA RPL (pretty well just paperwork and some IF and a flight review) then get a CTA endorsement on same. Voila they can fly their 24 registered aircraft into CTA. A Part 140/141 school that assists in the process does help and there are quite a few. How easy do you want it?
