Folks,
No names, no packdrill, but I was talking to a long time ago former Assistant Director of CASA, his comment about the Fice view on whether most of CAR 206 was about safety or commercial regulation ---- that it was all about commercial regulation.
The comment was: "We always knew that".
Tootle pip!!
PS: Contrary to what quite a few in CASA think, that the Seaview Inquiry recommended one standard of operation for all air transport, that is not what Judge Staunton said in the final Royal Commission report of CAA & Seaview Airlines.
What Judge Staunton effectively said was that charter or RPT operations in the same type of aircraft over the same routes should be operated to the same standard ----- a very different thing to saying there should be one standard for all "public transport" ---- something that is simply not possible, unless you are going to abandon all charter and small aircraft RPT operations to most of rural, regional and remote Australia.
The then chairman of the CASA Board, also a highly respected judge, Justice William Fisher, well understood the meaning of the Seaview recommendations.
