id be happy to attach my full P149 paperwork eg my paragliding operations manual (PGOM) + risk logs as the heart of the safety management system (SMS) when i know this forum system better and get extra post privileges etc. then you can judge for yourself
equally, i might ask if safety is served by a SAFA monopoly, where all my mates are too scared to reply to my emails for fear of being “banned for no reason” too. is that a good safety culture where pilots feel supported to raise any concerns?
PS. i have confirmed under FOI that key CASA staff are members of SAFA, but have not signed a conflict of interest statement. if they were to approve my P149, they too could lose their PG licence for “no reason” and ironically CASA could do nothing about it :o
