So CASA and by association AsA get to micromanage aviation to the point of requiring a calibrated torque wrench on a tire cap, breath test, ramp check, medically inspect and comb youtube and logbooks for infractions, yet claim no responsibility for the actions of a pilot?
This is crazy! Pilots are products of the Aviation environment in which they operate. Crappy environment = crappy decisions.
There is much evidence, in the form of government review after review, that the Australian Aviation environment is toxic to good decision making.
FFS, if Glen Buckley is to be believed, look what CASA did to an organisation, APTA, and its owner, Glen, who were in the process of improving flight training to comply with all CASA dictats.
