Maybe the RAAF should gather up all the Act, MOS, AIP, CAAPs, SUP/AIC, ASICs, AVIDs, and whatever else CASA has burdened us with and drop it on our enemies. Whoever the initial drop of 100 megatons of sheer bureaucratic tripe does not kill with blunt trauma will be demoralized as soon as they open up and read the absolute bull**** contained within. There will be no more will to fight, almost immediate surrender, and they will never bother us again out of pity for what we have to endure from our own leaders.
Ok. Just trying to state where the AAT and CASA may have gotten their reasoning from.
CASA didn't reason anything, they applied the regulations of equivalence, which in their own terms has to be exactly the same as what you are seeking, but with another name. The AAT just confirmed that CASA applied the law appropriately, and that there was no bias or mis-understanding.
I mean seriously the way people are treating this then RAAF pilots should not get any civilian qualifications, seriously, he was flying an F18, hawks, pc-9s, never flown the likes of a single engine piston aircraft, so he should be prevented from flying a Cessna 152 or a piper warrior. It seems this would be too difficult for an ex RAAF QFI. What if his whole plan is to operate a school specializing in fast jets?
PS, I know he may have flown a CT-4 at some stage, but the new breed of RAAF pilots will never have touched a piston single, let alone taught in one.
