Is ASIC killing off GA PPL?

CASA Annual Report

Some disturbing figures in this report. Participation rates are dropping across the board.

Table 25 shows sharp drops after 05/06 for PPL and GFPT. New issues are realtively steady at about 1300 a year for both GFPT and PPL with around another 800 uprating to CPL. It is disturbing to see the numbers of PPL holders dropping by about 4000 people within the last year and about a 1000 from the year before.

Table 30 shows even more disturbing figures showing those giving up holding their class of medicals. 3000 less class1 and about 5000 less class 2 which backs up table 25.

The only thing different over the last two years is ASIC. Has it really impacted on the industry this much?

Anyone know how many new RAA licences were issued in the same time period?
