Kinda hard to imagine that the ASIC is killing GA. It was already comatose before the ASIC came along.
The ASIC is just one more nuisance to have to stuff about with - at a cost of what (?) - the equivalent of about 0.5 hrs flying.
Why are there isolated pockets where GA seems to be thriving (YTWB) and other places where it has been virtually non-existant for years (YBTL)?
RAA is mostly inhabited by more over-enthusiastic dreamers rather than serious pilots. The rules have been relaxed so far that if it keeps going you won't even have to be able to fly an aeroplane in order to fly an aeroplane (???) - maybe we are there already if the kill rate is any indication!
Walrus - why don't you just go get an ASIC?

Where's Wally?
Is there weather that the mad Dr won't fly in SE, SP IFR? Yep! Just look at a couple of hundred miles around YBTL today. I'm stuck in YLRE waiting for it to improve so that I have a fighting chance at least. Embedded CBs scare me! Townsville is flooded - YET AGAIN!
