This has to be the largest and most significant screw up by ASA & CASA for many years!
CASA are meant to be about and promote safety, then why was this change (the levels) not consulted with ALL interested parties including the Vic RAPAC? Where is the safety case/risk analysis?
The change can continue with all the attend risks, but it could also be deferred with perhaps much less risk, but that would upset the airlines who pay the bills and have much more influence than GA.
Looks like the Iron Ring are still there and flexing their ego like they still trying to do on the MULTICOM.....
Time for the Director to kick some but!... and take charge
