The issue here is what the Dept of whatever have done to outline what is a security area at a regional aerodrome. There is no rule that says a GA pilot cannot land at an aerodrome that has a security requirement. There should be a clear option for a GA pilot that does not have an ASIC to go about his business, obtain fuel or whatever services that he wants that is available - leave the airport and return to his aircraft and fly away. The Dept in charge of this has NOT placed any such requirements in place for the aerodrome operator to follow, nor given any advice/instructions to the industyr or the GA pilots on how to walk thru this minefield. When they do, we will all be better off and not have to deal with security requirements that have nothing to do with the average GA pilot operating his aircraft.
Why it is more difficult to obtain an ASIC than a passport for significantly more money and only for two years and not ten is still a mystery!
Further more there does not appear to be a definition of GA (General Aviation) or non RPT operations within the regs quoted above....... Are we (GA) being discriminated against?
