Oki, I think what people have been suggesting, but of course I could be wrong, is that whatever fancy footwork you may do, CASA might say “no”. Since they have a bottomless pit to pay for litigation, even if you are ultimately proved right in the high court you lose......
.......And what will also have happened in the meantime is a CASA audit of your logbook, the aircraft maintenance and flight logs and the discovery of “discrepancies “ that result in your loss of license and a criminal conviction to boot. If you look through AAT decisions you will find that CASA always look for extra material to bolster their case this way.
I now understand why pilots and engineers are so reticent to answer a lot of questions I once asked, let alone commit themselves by putting anything beyond the absolute bare minimum in official records.
