CASR Revised 2021 Dec by me;
1. Don't crash; It is the PICs responsibility to avoid death, injury, prangs and embarrassment using common sense and non violent means.
2. To avoid crashing/embarrassment; Give way to the right by altering heading to the right, Head on both turn right. Lower aircraft have right of way, and don't challenge an overtaking aircraft to a race by diving or such to claim advantage (competing airlines exempt for fun purposes). Don't land or take-off on an occupied runway.
3. Aircraft in the circuit have right of way, anyone joining should do so from overhead or any other part of the circuit if safe to do so as per rule 1 and 2.
4. An aircraft must not run out of fuel/range while in flight. If the weather at destination is below minima you must have fuel/range for an alternate, the alternate must not require an alternate itself. (for the stupid carry more for mistakes or errors to avoid compromising rule 1)
5. To go in controlled airspace you need a clearance and must do what they say unless it contravenes rule 1. If there is RADAR, ATC will separate you, if not, you get a traffic service.
6. Drone operators are considered PIC and must not contravene rule 1.
7. Don't fly in cloud unless you have fly in cloud permission. Stay 1000ft vertically and 1500mt horizontal away from cloud otherwise to avoid straying into cloud.
8. Carry a radio dufus, tune into the local frequency, then you can talk to other pilots and aid in rule 1 & 2.
9. Anyone intending to operate an aeroplane must be appropriately trained and competent for what they intend to do, in compliance with rule 1.
10. Private operations are carrying friends/family and related for no financial gain, or airwork above private property or for private purposes that involve no direct remuneration for the service. Commercial operation is anything else.
11. Aircraft must be maintained in an airworthy state, where it would not be foreseeable that the state would lead to an infringement of rule 1.
