Don’t bank on any help from AVMAD

Missing Aileron - “Forgive me if any of this has been asked before.”

Sorry can’t help with specific answers but the only real hope of changing CASA’s capricious disregard for its own regulation, that third option specifying an operational test, is by creating political and media pressure. It would seem beyond belief that having at long last achieved a proven operational test, and written same into its regulations, that CASA has negated this and is causing unnecessary grief to so many pilots. I personally have good colour vision but watch with dismay how CASA’s irresponsible decisions have done such harm to GA in particular and so many individuals in the aviation community.

The independent corporate regulator, a concept that flies in the face of the Westminster system, is a failed model of governance. The main arms of government should be within Departments with a responsible Minister at head. If we want real improvements we must engage with our Representative MPs, if they don’t know what is happening then how does democracy work?
