Citation jet hitting the ground when reported 6000 ft at Mareeba.
Chieftan double engine failure in South Australia

Criticism of CASA not enforcing - i.e. Cowboy Operators.
Criticism of CASA enforcing too much - poor hard done by Operators and Pilots.

Maybe you should try running a 145 or 135 Org in PNG, to see what Micro management by the Regulator is.

So, we have to travel to PNG to get world's best practice? Great stuff!

And if CASA isn't responsible for all of the above, what is it responsible for?
