Car RAMROD, classic example of passive aggressiveness in a nasty uncalled for attack on Dick Smith.
CASA in its name it has "Safety" which is pure propaganda,
Its the public service for the Administration of Civilian Aviation
When I hear CASA, its similar to the word vomit.
Australia is one of the worst places in the world to be in aviation.
CASA's mad world is full of deception and fraud.
Take its part 61 and part 141, its an illusion of being parallel
to the FAA part 61 and part 141 which it is not.
CASA have ratings for items that don't even rate a log book endorsement in other countries.
Take a look at the licence conversion, US or Canadian licences or medicals are not recognized,
you need another flight test, another medical that avoids the use of common sense.
Then there are CASA's obscene medical requirements that are in excess of requirements
overseas, which are designed to be financially impossible as you get older.
CASA does indirectly was is prohibited directly.
Then there is their Telephone answering service.
"An Officer" blah blah blah...
Who the hell do they think they are? The @#$!! Police ?
They are not "officers" by any means. They are public servants.
Then there is the "penalty units" meaning they intend increasing the dollars
with a change in legislation because they raise their fees because they are
endlessly eliminating aviation business in Australia.
Enough to turn you off operating any aviation business
while CASA increasingly increase legislation and operating costs.
We can only expect more bad news come September when another
session of CASA propaganda will launch.
