Re: Blaming CASA
Vag has a point BUT
1/. 3 aircraft in the circuit on the Sunshine Coast in hardly surprising given the population density on the Sunshine Coast; and
2/. Legislation and Regulations are not a "natural" phenomenon - they are entirely within our control. The legislation and policy could be written in a way that facilitates aviation activity while maintaining safety IF WE SO CHOOSE.
The ire and the fury directed at CASA is because they choose NOT to, resulting in the unnecessary destruction of businesses and livelihoods.
The harassment and destruction of APTA is one such example.
The imminent closure of at least 2 major General Aviation tourism operations as a result of the GA-8 Airvan is another.
