Guard? Locked? Is that all!!!!
The great God of Security now requires
all GA aircraft in Oz to be immobilised when left unattended: technically even on the ramp outside our office
Not only immobilised, but in an obvious and visible manner: door locks are not acceptable security. When pointed out to the Law Makers that an awful lot of helicopters (and GA aircraft) in Australia tend to put covers on when it gets up toward 40C, which makes the
visible bit a tad hard to comply with, it all became a bit too hard.
Mega$$$$ fines if not complied with, and FedPol wander around every now and then to check up. When was the last time you saw an R22 hijacked for terrorism use? I'm tempted to get this translated and made up for each aircraft
