In some circumstances it's been a case of re-write what was there before (for transitioning), cite the new rule in place of the old one(s) and then see what CASA say.
CASA hasn't changed much in the respect that any query on a rule has always had a regulatory round about that has many words and no answer. Just the rules are more convoluted now. As I said in another thread the rules will only get an effective interpretation after an incident/ accident occurs.
