jabawocky how do you equate your comments with McCormic and his "we are a big R regulator and we are going to enforce a higher level of safety."
then you have all the strict liability bull****.
all I see from CASA is incompetence.
I see pilots who are quite competent reduced by CASA fear into uncertainty, doubt and a cessation of activity.
One of the greatest risks to aviation safety in this country is actually CASA.
I wish I lived in your wonderful fuzzy world but sadly I live in mine.
41 years involved in aviation and not a prang. I must be incompetent.
