That’s also the opinion of an ex CASA FOI who spent 4 years in the job.
Opinions are like rectums - everybody has one. In my short time at CASA, FOIs received minimal training in aviation law. It was left up to them to read the regulations and interpret as they saw fit. It seems nothing has changed. FOIs still get it WRONG.
The Civil Aviation Act is quite clear on what is a 'flight'. At some stage of the process the aircraft must have been
airborne. Mere intent to go flying does not make it a 'flight'.
From several posts here, it would seem certain contributors may have made false entries in their logbooks.
