Next punch....
As someone who has been done over by Reg 206 (iv)..photography and 27(d)
..allowing an aeroplane to be used for a commercial purpose(photog), maybe now is the time to go for an AAT decision on the legality or otherwise of these issues, that are not "unsafe" but 'commercial'
The CAA Act 1988 says that CASA is not commercial regulator.. it is only a safety regulator. That has been stated on numerous occassions by various Ministers.
So, that is Government Policy. A meaning of the Act, no less.
The regs, upchucked by the wunderkind of OLC/ LSD and other parties, are the controlling policies that CASA wants.
I believe they are illegal, unconstitutional? and they certainly breach the common civil rights of photography, and deny me the right to earn a living in my chosen profession.
Time to rattle some chains...
