andrewr summed it up, especially the last paragraph
.
I've been pointing out these anamolies to CASA for years and they've been shrugged off as "everybody does it so it's become a kind of common law interpretation"
But you can bet some of them would suddenly sit up and interpret it differently if they had it in for you and would take you to the cleaners for something.
I got pinged on 40.1.0 para 10.2 (where it says the instructor must make the entries in the student log book) in an audit...so I pointed out 10.3 and asked how that could be reconciled with the student-carrying-pax scenario? response...everybody does it. So I said well, most people happily let the studes fill in their own logbooks too so why am I getting an RCA for this???
