The biggest problem is that CASA is treating a camera mount the same way as the modification to carry a space shuttle on the back of a 747.
Folks,
One can't be to careful can one, seeing that the "aims and objects" of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, as interpreted by the present management of CASA, allow for no "common sense" interpretations, only "minimizing accidents and incidents" no matter how unlikely, and regardless of the cost of such minimization.
After all, those beastly Senate chappies, goaded by the members of the Ills of Society Society, might ask difficult questions.
Seriously, the "one size fits all" approach embedded in the current act and regulations, and being reinforced in the so called "reformed" regulations, marches on, to the cost of all sectors of what remains of Australian GA.
Tootle pip!!
