Tootle pip!!
I recall Mr Carmody making reference to the issue of strict liability being inappropriate, but obviously its low on priority. Repeating a point, CASA has strong disincentives to make changes that could put GA on a growth path. Loss of fees for all sorts of permissions that don’t exist in the USA for one example. Less power to micro manage by CASA would eventually lead to lower staffing and possibly lower salaries within CASA. Any logical changes might lead to cessation of the everlasting (30 yr so far and still counting) make work program of rule rewriting, a system of great wealth creation which CASA would be loathe to give up. The hubristic egos of the Iron Ring would be assaulted by any winding back of the worst and most unworkable aviation rules in the developed world, one more obstacle in the way of commonsense and practical reform that is desperately needed.
