Fort Fumble and the Money Spend Continues

Next, take a look at the sidebar statement on any newer CAAP:


CAAPs provide guidance, interpretation and explanation on complying with the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) or Civil Aviation Orders (CAO).

This CAAP provides advisory information to the aviation industry in support of a particular CAR or CAO. Ordinarily, the CAAP will provide additional ‘how to’ information not found in the source CAR, or elsewhere.

A CAAP is not intended to clarify the intent of a CAR, which must be clear from a reading of the regulation itself, nor may the CAAP contain mandatory requirements not contained in legislation.


So, ahh, if the CAR is supposed to be clear by itself, why do we need CAAPs? And Q2, why do CAAPs always contain requirements (policy??) not supported by the regs?
