The title of this confused bureaucracy is the Civil (sometimes not) Aviation “safety” Authority. (and with some very nasty authoritarians within)
It also touts itself as a regulator of commerce. eg Photography. If you have a ppl, a camera and an aeroplane and go fly and take some photographs, and GIVE them to a person…that is OK. If you do the same and have a $ CHARGE for them…then you have committed an offence. Because you have engaged in a commercial transaction.
This shows the stupidly of this outfit. Where on earth is the safety issue??…that’s not the consideration…it’s the $$s that becomes the problem.
Its a classic demonstration that CAsA is confusing and abusing “commerce”. Like I say the place is a ****show.
