Creamie, old mate!
---Australia should produce a mess that looks like a freight train full of dog food that’s hit a herd of camels at high speed!
As the head sharangue of the recently formed RSPCC, I demand a halt. It ain't fair to camels.
We should call an immediate halt, and adopt the Mongolian Rules, which looks suspiciously like the said Mongol Hordes have paid a recent visit to Wellington,NZ, to CAA at Lower Hutt, no less. Cunning lot, these Sons of Ghengis, smart, too!
Seriously, the EASA ED, Patrick Goudou, has eulogized the recently revamped Canadian rules, as suitable for all the rules EASA ain't yet got (terrible English, I know, but it will have to do).
Quote from Eric Sivel, of EASA:
"EASA was impressed with the way Canada framed its rules, and the simplicity of the country's system" - Flight International, 22-28 April 2008, p.14, or on:
<www.flightglobal.com/easapowers>
As the Canadian lawyer who is largely responsible for what EASA seems to think is close to "world's best practice" (whatever that means), is currently a resident of Canberra --- maybe CASA could put his talents to good use.
Indeed, the CASA Head of Planning and Governance will only have to look into the next office.
Take, say, the CASA "EASA Like" maintenance rules project, why not cut out the middle man, and go direct to Canada, instead of the long way around, via the Atlantic, and save the cost of translating the Eurocrat version into Casteralian Rules??
Tootle pip!!
