Your explanations are right. All those things, rolled into one for a total flustercluck.
Consistency in prosecution for reg breaches ....pass me the bucket.!
Helicopter pilot busts it, flies it, alterations to MR and illegal entries..blames others.
In the collapsed legal wash up, many innocent folk are 10s of thousands of $$s out of pocket.
And the instigator of all this mayhem...gets off scott free.
When asked by one of the financial victims why was he not prosecuted for all the serious reg breaches, the astounding answer was .."Oh, dont you think he has been hurt enough, he's lost his helicopter." !!
Comments of bribery relating to this event spring to mind.
No good calling Houston...Cantberra , we have a problem.!
CAsA is one sick puppy...like the RSPCA, I believe it should be put down.
