Tarmac t*rds rule OK.!
Just had word that some hapless aviator at Roma got a $200 on the spot finefor not having his medical paper with his licence. Medical was valid.
Also a threat of another bust because no visible ELT. Was in the seat pocket.
As you can see this is heavy duty "safety" stuff to keep the world safe from falling aeroplanes.
IMO its counterproductive- the pissed off and stressed out pilot is distracted from the task at hand when he departs.
Hilarious. Taxpayer money hard at work! Meanwhile the 'fare paying public' (meant to be the main focus of CASA's core activities??) which are numbering into their thousands travelling on a daily basis are left to the devices of larger operators who are being publicly named and shamed on an almost weekly basis for acting in a non safe manner are not getting a gournsey due to CASA resources (no doubt some crusty old GA FOI has-been who is counting the days til retirement and a nice fat super payout) pounding the red soil of Roma!!
A continuing example of stupidity and lack of risk ranking by the regulator.
My god will Senator X hurry up and push forward to give this department it's long over due colon cleansing, please!
Start a new thread that names and shames the FOI for all to see.
It was probably Noah or Moses, some dinosaur long in years.
