It is an admission, Ix. I've said it, publicly, on PPRuNe.
You keep speculating. I'm not interested in speculation. I want the reference to CASA's specification of the manner in which and the persons to whom reports of all aircraft defects must be made by the PIC either during or at the end of the flight.
"It's most likely" doesn't cut it. And, in any event, if it is in Company SOPs that is just the Company SOPs: It's "right there on the box". That's not a specification by CASA.
Do you get the point I made about para 10.00 of ENR 1.1 in AIP? Do you see that it is a specification of the manner in which and the persons to whom reports of navaid and landing area defects must be reported by PICs - all PICs? I'm looking for the aircraft defect equivalent.
