CASA REFORMS COMPLETE
After many decades and many millions of dollars spent, CASA have finally released the final version of the aviation law framework.
The most notable change and biggest enhancement to safety has the introduction of legislation requiring all air crew to have a law degree and be practicing members of the Bar. This has reduced air traffic to pre 1900 levels due to the lengthy and involved appeals process most 'pilawyers' file before leaving the ground due to the requested clearance not available.
Another notable change is that aviation will be made an offence of strict liability, punishable by being enslaved in the "Jigsaw" style basement of CASA HQ and made to escape, or "C squared divided by pi" penalty units.
A CASA Spokesman said they look forward to the next round of reform where the requirement to be a QC with at least a 55% case win ratio will be required to fly anything larger than a predetermined MTOW. In determining the weight limit for each pilot the following formula has been released in the form of a CAAP -
"You take the ratio of cases won for the last year, multiplied by the wigs worn by the prosecution during those cases, divided by the number of unsuccessful appeals at the AAT; add the inverse square of the sped of an African swallow carrying a coconut in 20 knot headwind. The answer is next Tuesday."
CASA has hailed the new reforms as a triumph of common sense, enhanced readability, understandability and safety.
