Regulation by armchair??
GoPro cameras can do some pretty shmick things. I would hope that if these CAsA fools are going to continue to use PoohTube footage as their means of regulating and undertaking investigations and taking action (saves them accommodation and airfare costs doesn't it?), they should all take lessons in digital media and cinematography, at the high end of the scale (although CAsA can't even get its own house in order let alone learn the tricks of cinematography). Some of today's relatively cheap equipment can do amazing things, including making Whirlybirds look like they are breaking every regulation in the rule book!!
CAsA's growing obsession with chopper pilots is ridiculous. Some of these guys are ex Vietnam pilots or have spent a decade flying PNG. They would be a lot safer airborne than some of today's kiddies with 2 years Microsoft flight experience who are now sitting in the right hand seat of some of our larger passenger jets.
