I disagree with any further punitive regulations on pilots, there are already far too many "strict liability" offences and the public don't understand that these are CRIMINAL convictions, not some administrative misdeed like a parking fine or speeding ticket.

What concerns me is that if the laws and regulations are made any stricter, then the result will be major non compliance, as it is it is not possible to comply with current regulations anyway because CASA staff all have their own interpretations of what is leg.al and what isn't.

To put that another way, a Magistrate once told me that a suggested form of law as too strict his advice was to water it down if compliance was to be achieved.
