All,
Has it occurred to all the fans of AOC's and mountains of paperwork, all those tidy minded clerks with a pilot's licence, that the real answer is to get rid of AOC's for ALL GA flying.
Level the playing field by reducing costs for all, not artifically inflating costs for an AUF that is doing a good job.
Have a look at a few other countries, you might be surprised. Remember the G.O.D's, when an Operations Manual was little more than a statement that thou shall obey all the sundry Regs, Orders etc.
Has the vast expansion in paperwork and general bureaucratic micro management of GA resulted in an ever increasing standard of pilot, or better safety outcomes???
Has it hell.
Tootle Pip!!!
