Thank you for your considered reply Flying Spike, I wish you were running CASA.
What I was trying to get across is how completely alien CASA behavior and the regulations are compared to ANY other activity in Australia, and that includes the ATO.
My personal opinion is that it’s killing GA.
If I had done a little more homework before starting flying, I would have taken up golf instead. The signs were there, I just didn’t put two and two together.
