Yes Chimbu,
I was expecting you to post your 4,289th post in reply
CASA is apparently preparing a new part 91 - Flight operations, and on its website it says that there will be "strict control of portable electronic devices".
I think that means that there will be unique Australian requirements regarding how any of this stuff, from a hand held GPS upwards, can be used.
I would be very surprised if these requirements were not highly onerous.
Well, no doubt that by time this new Reg comes out it will be titled 2011 by which time the real world will have moved on to 2021 (CASR 1998, if only the trains were as efficient as CASA regulatory reform
).
I hear a funny acronym once for CASA, it was
something Against
Safety in
Aviation. I can't for the life of me remember what it was... Cats, Corndogs, Candycanes, Canapes... nah... can't remember. It'll probably come to me when I least expect it.
