And ASAOs are not ‘beholden to CASA’? CASA just lets them do whatever they like? Really? What are all of the pages of regulations in Part 149 about?
Are you sure ASAOs are a ‘delegate’ organisation? Sure? Even if they are, doesn’t the delegator have control over the delegatee?
Don’t AOC holders have an ability to discipline/limit personnel that transgress? They don’t need any approval or delegation from CASA to do that.
Only in Australian aviation could this make sense to some.
