CASA need to get everyone off "schedule 5" but mandating the manufacturers schedule is clearly unreasonable. These schedules were written years ago - sometimes based on "best guesses" and have never been updated based on real world experience.
Eh?
Old Akro, that is precisely what the SIDs are.
The current iteration of Piper/New Piper/Piper Aircraft Company has no liability if PA31s start falling out of the sky - they are not the same company that built the things or most of the other Pipers in Australia.
Give me a SIDsed Cessna over the equivalent Piper any day.
