The Military
Everyone might as well forget about the military and any discussion here to, as they, by dint of the Defence Act (whatever year), do not have to abide by any civilian rule or regulation.
For example RAAF pilots do not have to hold or comply with civilian pilot licences/rules/regulations.
RAN Captains/Navigators do not have to hold Master Mariners tickets.
Army personnel driving military vehicles are not required to hold civilian driving licences.
Nor do military personnel have to hold gun licences to carry, shoot or have weapons.
Just so long as they are undertaking their normal military occupation they are not required to hold civilian equivalancies.
The military outfit their aircraft to civilian standards but are under no obligation to do so, if they need the cubic space/weight for military purposes that equipment will be out and on the shelf so quick your head may spin.
If some jet jockey has to go from YWLM to YPDN in a F/A-18 and plans at block F300-F400/M0.97 with only a Mk1 eyeball for navigation he/she is allowed to and ASA/CASA/Mr Joe Public cannot gain say him/her, controllers have to accept it and keep other traffic out of the way. (Remember F111 planned from YAMB to YAMB via YMLT and a few points just SW of YMLT and that was all the info given)(Got some nice happy snaps though)
