CASA will never be able to retain experienced industry professionals in the current climate, particularly with regards to pilots.
I honestly have no idea how CASA are going to get all their inspectors trained up to manage the transition, whilst the organisation continues to manage BAU.
probably to same standard as they have trained their staff in the application of Parts 61, 64, 141 and 142. “If in doubt, revert back to CAR 5, CAO 40 etc.” seems to be the approach. Even a significant number of CAAPs still make references to CAR 5, the Flight Review CAAP being a classic example.
