CAO 82.0 1.1 and CAO 82.0 2.1 etc are as clear as can be. An alternate is required, even when Norfolk is CAVOK. 2.3 may appear to allow CASA to 'approve' a lesser fuel policy, but the operative word there is 'adequate'. When 2.4 is then read as part of the whole deal, it is fortunate for CASA that no lives were lost or the litigants would now be finishing CASA for good (and not before time), had they approved something less.
CAO 82.0 includes Aerial Work operations.
