Bureaucracy Gone Mad.

I have carefully read the CASA Exemption and note that it contains approximately 40 paragraphs, depending on how you count them, most of which is ass covering legal bull****, to coin a term.

In essence, it states, according to my feeble intellect.

1. Determine if you have one of these devices on an engine on your aircraft.

2.If you do, then as a pilot, wiggle it both ways with your fingers and check the lockwires.

3. If it's not loose after doing step (2) you may make the shortest and most direct positioning flight to the closest place where a LAME can check it properly, obeying regulations on the way.

4. Flight must be with minimum crew from which written informed consent has been received. No business purpose for the flight.

Why has the practice of Aviation regulation been contaminated with such stunningly inefficient, time consuming, wasteful, prolix, obtuse, and no doubt highly expensive legal bull**** contained in the other 36 paras?
