No I’m not suggesting that at all, LL.
What I’m suggesting is that the response mitigate the actual cause of the accidents, rather than be the usual knee jerk rule change. Whilst it may seem a surprise to many Australians - and especially the complicators in CASA - the real solution to many problems is not more laws and more restrictions.
CASA has a safety promotion function. The risk of VFR flight into IMC, in breach of the law, is well known. The problem of ‘gethereitis’ is well known. Perhaps CASA should do its safety promotion job better.
Perhaps it should be less complicated to get IFR qualifications.
Perhaps it should be easier for private VFR pilots with thousands of hours in the logbook to get instructor ratings.
I talked about this earlier in the thread.
How many accidents have there been in community service road vehicles? You tell me! That’s part of the chronic problem of aviation ‘standards’ setting.
