SW3,
Many of your points are 100% correct. However, I take issue with the following:
"RAAus training is substandard and not to the same level of GA".
It is not necessarily true that the training is substandard.
It IS, however, true that the CONTROL AND REGULATION of RAAus schools is less than that of CASA schools.
CASA struggle to audit my school once in 3 years. The RAAus were recently boasting that they had more flying schools than CASA, yet they have HOW many inspectors? 2? The Ops Manager and his Deputy?
