Capt EFIS I agree. Isn't that the role of a safety authority? CASA perhaps?
Having experienced both flying school & charter ops inspections, they seem to be more interested in making sure there are sticky signs above each exit in your Cessna 172 saying that the door is an exit and ensuring that your CAO 20.11 training was conducted in a swimming pool on the first occasion. Something like deckchairs and the Titanic.
Meanwhile obvious fraud and deceipt in other areas is glossed over. As you say F&D records can (and should) be checked against the MR, Tower records, Censar, ATS etc.
