Being forced to regurgitate regulations in the holy grail of 'compliance' is plain bloody minded and only done to keep CASA snouts firmly in the trough.
All that the law should require (and probably does if examined closely) is a simple statement in the Operations Manual directing the reader to the appropriate rule and simply saying "Rule xx, sections yy apply to this company’s rostering limits. Company will not roster any pilot to exceed those limits. A pilot must refuse to accept any duty that will exceed those limits”
Similar should apply to fuel policy, weather minima etc. Plenty of stuff in the AIP and elsewhere to tell us what we should be doing.
Ditto with flying the aeroplane - follow the M.O.M., FCOM or whatever the people who build the things say and simply use their books. Why must we make up **** just to fill manuals of our own creation? Of course if you want to get the drop on your competitors by short circuiting established criteria to gain commercial advantage you probably deserve to be made to jump through hoops.
It is stupidity to print rules in the O.M., because the first time CASA change something, the O.M. would fall foul of non-compliance until amendments caught up.
There are electronic flight and duty monitoring programs which can be specified off-the-shelf to 'red-flag' breaches, Some reporting policy for any exceedances would be required.. Ditto with fuel - plenty of electronic flight planning programs to do it for you at quite reasonable cost.
Being required restate the whole CASR/CAR/CAAP/CAO/AIP etc in some other form is unreasonable,
Industry should unite to resist this crap.
