"Remember, a while back, when it was proposed that only military trained helo pilots could be check pilots /instructors in said flingwings."
Leady,
That would fit in nicely with a senior CAsA mandarin's statement that if he had his way the only things flying in Australia would be the RAAF and RPT.
Of course RPT could only be piloted by RAAF Pilots. Looking increasingly like he's getting his way.
I can't help wondering how CAsA proposes to police this new regulation that's not really a regulation.
Out at kickatinalong Molly Maggot rings Billy Blowfly who owns an aircraft and asks him if he could fly her and her daughter to the big smoke as she needs to buy new school uniforms unavailable in Kickatinalong. Would this be a community service flight?
While in the big smoke Molly takes her daughter to a clinic for treatment. Has Billy now inadvertently committed an offence?
During the phone call Molly tells Billy she will be taking her daughter to the doctor in the big smoke and Billy tells her aww Gee Molly can't take you in the aircraft its against the law if you visit a doctor, but I'll drive you the 15 hours no worries.
Billy inadvertently falls asleep at the wheel on the way and gets wiped out by a road train killing them all.
Would these fatalities be added to CAsA's statistics? Okay silly question.
34,000 Angel Flight missions a year in the USA.
12,500 Angel Flight missions a year in Canada.
The previous DAS who WAS a pilot with some aeronautical experience looked at regulating Angel Flight and declined to act.
Carmody with no aviation experience at all decides it will rain aluminium if he doesn't act against absolutely no evidence of a problem that needed fixing, blackens the name of private pilots and the GA industry by inferring we are a bunch of homicidal lunatics out to slaughter anyone we come in contact with, creating in the publics eye GA is on a Par with ISIS.
