I had to show my ASIC at Albury before the policeman (council aerodrome man) would let me airside. He also told me off for parking where I did after the tower told me to park there. Oh well.

Was at Moruya on the weekend. Walked into the secure terminal, out to the gate, reached around and opened the secure one-way lock and walked airside. Bit of a joke that. Admittedly there is a camera there though.

RAA will never replace GA despite what "Mick" says. They are not equipped to deal with it. They have a severe shortage of rules (they make them up as they go along), little process and no ability to enforce the rules by way of fine or penalties other than taking your "certificate" off you.

The only way for the future of bottom-end GA is a small off-chute of CASA to look after the lighter aircraft up to say 6 seaters.
