Morno.

And there we have it in a nutshell ---- from the mouths of babes etc ---- Australian "compliance with procedures", on pain of criminal sanction, versus effective communication to get the best (air) safety outcomes.

"Compliance" takes precedence, regardless of the fact that there is quite a large body of study and analysis, proven valid (Hudson, Kern, Reason, Maurino et al) that shows why this approach does not, and cannot, produce the best achievable air safety outcomes.

A good example, even if unintended, of why Australia's air safety outcomes are nothing to write home about, and not nearly as good as we keep kidding ourselves they are --- seen through our 12 mile limit inspired rose tinted glasses.

Australian aviation regulation's dedication to complex prescriptive procedures, with criminal penalties, versus outcome based regulation, where the outcome is the best achievable air safety outcome.

Tootle pip!!
