Well...well wonders will never cease ATSBeaker have issued two SRs to FF
:
'Confusion over regulations leaves ageing aircraft vulnerable'
And a quote from that news bulletin (my bold):
The ATSB has issued two safety recommendations to CASA as part of this investigation. The first recommends that CASA proceed with its program of regulatory reform to ensure that all aircraft involved in general aviation operations are maintained using the most appropriate maintenance schedule for the aircraft type. The second is to ensure that the provisions of CAR Schedule 5 are clarified in relation to the incorporation of all relevant supplemental inspections specified for the aircraft type.
Here are links for report
AO-2011-115 and FF proposed safety actions AO-2011-115-SR-049 (SI-02) & AO-2011-115-SR-050 (SI-01).
