This operator is alleged to have downloaded a copy of the DAY VFR syllabus from the CASA web site to a USB and then handed it to one of its students for use during training. CASA have threatened to sue for making "an unauthorised copy".
That sounds a little strange. As Jabba has pointed out, CASA has always supported the download of their materials. If not, why then make it downloadable in both PDF and RTF format?
And this is from the CASA website on the
VFR Day syllabus section, quote;
"The syllabus is provided in adobe acrobat and rich text format (RTF). The latter allows extracts of the syllabus
to be downloaded and incorporated into a school's operations manual and/or own training syllabus. "
