Once the precedent is set, regardless of which airframe/variant it is, they have given themselves free rein to do the same to any airframe. Surely they must be obliged to provide industry with an explanation of the basis of this action? Especially given that the action taken can and will have such an immediate and dramatic effect upon so many businesses and individuals! Has there ever been a precedent for this sort of action in AUS? None that I know of in NZ -although without doubt CAA-NZ will be closely monitoring developments as a consequence of this action.
Interesting days ahead, methinks.
