With regard to the PIC on landing in YTIB. Like most of us, the low fuel would easily be ‘masked’ during the refuel. Lessons learnt, life goes on, CASA would be none the wiser. This would be occurring on a daily basis here in Australia, I can’t see a simple solution to enforcing this.
No worries.

But now you see why some of us are saying that rules about low fuel risks in heavy metal flying between big people’s airports are not suited to third world GA.

That which is “occurring on a daily basis here in Australia” is not currently criminal. It will be if the new instrument comes into force in November 18. The safety purpose of that outcome is not obvious.
