and if you don't declare a fuel mayday it's a criminal offense. if you land with less than fixed reserve it's a criminal offense. and CASA personnel are now empowered by this regulation to check your fuel state on landing.

What this effectively does for any thinking pilot is to cause the carrying of a "litigation reserve" reducing payload and increasing costs.

How many pilots are going to make less than safe decisions with concomitant accidents as a result of this lunacy?
