Folks,

If you really want to see how to screw pilots over, have a look at the Australian CASA draft of the new Part 91, available on <www.casa.gov.au>.

A most amazing document, nothing to do with aviation safety, quite the contrary.

As a former head of legal at CASA said;"Aviation law is for lawyers and judges, for the safe conviction of pilots and engineers".

Be aware that (amongst many other atrocities) that the emergency authority of the pilot in command has been removed, instead it will be reverse onus of proof to justify anything you did during an emergency ----- in complete contrast to ICAO, FAA and existing Australian rules.

Tootle pip!!
