----- on the surface it didn't seem too bad, although there are a lot of hangman nooses in it along with a lot of 50 penalty points for very minor offences
Thorn Bird,
That about sums it up, in my view there is huge scope for CASA to make life even more miserable.
Just for the hell of it, I took a squizz at Part 135, that is the doozy, as far as I can see it will put light charter out of business, such is the increase in paperwork. Airfield requirements will be one hell of a problem. It is not even clear to me that I can even still use a single engine piston at all, due forced landing field requirements.
One matter on which CASA HAS NOT consulted is on 135.135, passenger lists, strict liability 50pp.
The
gender of each passenger must be recorded. I trust CASA will consult widely, including with the Australian Human Right Commission, to agree a
definition of an an acceptable way for the operator/pilot to determine gender to the satisfaction of CASA.
The LBTIQUASSGF community will be watching.
Tootle pip!!
