The numbers you have quoted aren't relevant to the LSA certification. BRM Aero produced the CASA spin testing documentation during the Facebook Live stream which required a total of 36 spins to be completed.
If the aircraft is not compliant with ASTM - why is no other regulatory body worldwide taking action to revoke certification?
Why is CASA not being prescriptive with BRM Aero as to exactly WHY the ASTM standard isn't met? Is it really appropriate for the national regulator to simply say "No", and leave it to the manufacturer to work out why? We are talking about CASA believing there is a significant safety issue - should they not be working with the manufacturer to resolve it?
In regards to the fatal Bristell accident in Clyde - is it appropriate that RAA is legally allowed to self-investigate a fatal accident, and withhold their findings from the manufacturer, given that there is a supposed certification issue with the aircraft?
