And the locally based operation is saying that the $250,000 is based on an entirely false interpretation of CASA requirements/regulations.
However, if Part 135 was in place, and the local operator wanted to stay is business as a sightseeing operation, to bring the airfield up to what Part 135 requires, $250,000 is probably far short of what is "required". The same is true of many council and other airfields, even quite a few in ERSA.
And yet, nobody that I know seems to have read and understood what is in Part 135, and what a disaster just aerodrome "standards", alone, will be for light aircraft charter --- the "industry" is sleepwalking into another CASA made disaster for GA. That is without regard to the rest of Part 135.
