I too received an invoice in the post yesterday from ASA detailing my current subscriptions namely CAR's, CAO's, AIP, ERSA and DAPs. For a twelve month amendment service to the regs the cost is $169 (up from $52 last year) and for the CAO's and AIP's, $76 which are both up around 55% from last year. When I queried this with them this morning I was told that the reason was that because ASA distribute on behalf of CASA and they were running at a loss, substantial price rises were necessary to recover costs. No other explaination or justification was given.

I've decided to renew the only the AIP, ERSA & DAPs. The others I can access from the net. Even the CD costs $216 a year and there's nothing on it that can't be downloaded from web.

You can download the Act, Regs and all of the other Legislation from here:

Perhaps everyone should think about renewing only what you need for operational purposes and tell 'em yo jam the rest.
