Youre probably correct but that’s not what the CASA website implies. Which is the cause of my angst.
The website (and yes, I agree it’s not the legislation - but someone in a position of authority must have approved the wording on their website) says that an AVID will be ok if one does not intend to frequently use or plan to use Security Controlled airports. And that security controlled areas are always out of bounds.
Looks like no one really knows the answer at this stage. Only one way to find out, land for fuel or an overnight stop and see what happens.
The title of my next thread may may well be “Postcards from Prison”.
