How many GA accidents in Australia have been caused by structural failure in normal service? The ATSB would know and should have been consulted before McCormick opened his yapper.
Well, isn't that the key question. Potentially the government should be asking their agency that question. It seems they are wasting so much of this country's hard earned doh on this and potentially making a whole tax paying industry unviable on the basis of some very spurious risk assessment. That's if they are doing any risk assessment at all. C'mon CASA, show us the data! Oh what, there isn't any?
