Folks,
To be clear, there is NO SELF REGULATION in Australian aviation, whether you like it or not, there is one "regulator", CASA.
What kind of a job CASA does in risk minimisation, how it enforces the regulations, is a matter of widely varying opinion.
It is true that, in some sports and recreational areas, administration of the regulations (including any exemptions) is conducted by related associations, such as the GFA, RAOz., ABF, HGFA etc. None of these or like bodies have regulation making powers, even of some of their management at times behave like they think they do have such power.
"Administration of the regulations" is not
"regulation".
Tootle pip!!
PS: The further clarify, I recommend Sir Humphrey's discourse on the difference between "The Administration of Policy" and the "Policy of Administration".
