Ancient Geek,
In your post you mentioned
Just to be concise, do you actually mean lack of regulation? or
- poorly written regulations? or
- The regulatory authority not doing the "regulating".
I'll be grateful if you can provide example or instances.
My personal example : In 1997, the Nigerian CAA still had a 16 hour duty periods for pilots without limits as whether you can do that for6 consecutive days or not.
Of course, it was promptly corrected when we brought that to their attention.
Anyone has had to grapple with some "senseless" or "out-dated" regulations in the AFI region?
