Hulloooo!...

Am I missing something here.?

swh:... claims there IS a safety case between CHTR and RPT and that will be
certified as the same but different with a name change to "Passenger Transport"
In reading the AAT decision, I got the gist that there was NO safety case/ difference in the Caper Case from today CHTR : and tommorrow RPT.
Same aeroplane, same pilot(s) same route etc... just a different job lot of pax. So what???
All this CASA crap about "interposed entities", and other "legal" wankery is LSD users trying to muddy the issue. And they were banging on about 191, when the reg was 206. ANYTHING to make a "case" will do.

Someone a lot smarter found that it didnt.!

The control freaks in CASA have really lost the plot.. the original wherewithall
WAS that CASA is a SAFETY regulator. But by their "regulations" that has evolved into economic regulation as well, doing untold damage to businesses, individuals and the prosperous development of any GA industry.

I had a good chuckle at yr bs statement... PPL holder with an a/c and a camera, nothing more. Tertiary educated with overseas Photographic qualifications, actually..ie a Professional Photographer.

And.. "therefore by being paid for producing specialist photographs I could be prosecuted for obtaining money by deception and fraud" How very CASAist.

By State and Federal Police?... dont make me laugh.! The AFP are not even interested in prosecuting CASA persons who have perjured themselves and conspired to pervert the course of justice.!
A bloody sight more serious that a photgrapher being paid for a photograph, dont you think?
And from past experience I do know where all the real frauds/ makers of fraudulent statements are: those that say and do anything to make a "safety" case.

Perhaps I could charge some CASA persons claiming to be AWIs, and dont even know what they're looking at, so their claims as "experts" are obviously fraudulent, and they should be dealt with by the State or Federal police.
I wish.

MY point is,and it seems for some its a hard concept to grasp, CASA is way beyond its true mission of safety and harm minimisation, and is heavily into economic regulation. NOT its territory, suposedly..or by Act

In the totaly fcuked up CASA regulatory environment, some businesses can use an aeroplane as a business tool, some can't.
And its my belief that the legal basis/bases in my case are wrong /illegal /whatever.

It breaches my civil rights as a Photgrapher, it denies me the right to free trade, it denies me the right to earn a living... AND it has absolutely SWEET FCUK ALL to do with "safety." The "crime" is in the commerce.

CASA "investigator" to a client. "this is all about commerce... its got nothing to do with safety... but dont say that to the jury" !

So there was one honest one amongst all the lying b*****s!
