Or maybe CAsA have realised that they don't actually have SMEs capable of actually understanding the material and approving it. Sort of putting responsibility back onto the operators.......
Yes, makes it easier for operators which is good. They are the ones actually out there doing these things as opposed to sitting in Canberra picking fault with documents.
The less interference from Government employed bureaucrats, the better. This is one decision that I think is actually a good thing for the rest of us. Might also give 'em time to find another way of screwing us? Guess we'll see.
