The problem is Checkers is that the Regs are still the mish mash of rubbish they were before you guys headed off to the You Kaye. Nothing has changed really apart from they've succeeded in making the rules even more ambiguous where they could.
A sceptical person might wonder why CASA was so keen to introduce strict liability all those years ago when they realised they would never quite "get around" to getting the rule book too clearly written... Hence the differing interpretations of some as to what actually constitutes IF time...
