I have to admit, I had no idea until just now what ASETPA stood for. The trusty Google search soon fixed that gap in my education! The ASETPA Checklist on CASA's site... seems a worthwhile document, and certainly covers what a new turbine operator should be aiming for -as a minimum! I have to admit though my eyebrows raised a tad at the Proving Flight| Engine failure during take off, including turnback procedures. (my emphasis)

Are CASA now advocating the turnback in EFATO as a valid procedure??? And checking to see that you do it??? I hope not! Please, someone tell me I'm looking at this in the wrong way!!!

Otherwise it seems that the process would give any new turbine operator/start-up a very good basis upon which to build, whilst maintaining their aircraft in mint condition! To be applauded!
