Thats the regs for ya!
And if we think its a load of old cobblers, cop this..!! NOT publicised by our esteemed Regulator tho. CASA statement from a Coronial inquest into the death of a Trike pilot, 2005.p32.
CASA believes..." that they (the CASRs, CAOs) are overly prescriptive,ambiguous, disjointed, too reliant on exemptions, difficult to interpret, to comply with, and to enforce."
Whooa! straight from the horse's mouth.! The nag with the rotten teeth.
Is that an admission of negligence and neglect in reg making or what?
Its a sure sign of any bad reg if you have to have exemptions
Which poses the question, for the long suffering industry, why the bloody hell hasnt CASA done anything to rectify the situation.. that as above, THEY admit to.!!
Strict liabilty for everything is not a Govt requirement. And CASA 'crimes' do not fit the Govt criteria as to what constitutes a crime.
OK, a civil penalty for some things but not criminal offences for everything.
FFS even CASA believes that for their staff.! Behave in a criminal manner, no worries, you'll be protected and just get an administrative/civil penalty.
How good is that.! For them, but not for us.
