Actually totally out of Dick Smith Electronics since 1983- some 31 years ago
As I said, back in the day. 1983 was the year I moved from Brisbane to Indonesia!

I used to have a Canadian SE IR and I was really impressed with the practical rules and regs compared to Australia and England. I'm not up to date with current practices, otherwise I would have answered your questions.

I've been following the ongoing CASA saga and the Senate hearings on the Australian forum and I am staggered how things have deteriorated in Australian aviation.

Threatening pilots with criminal charges for minor regulatory mistakes? Suggesting that airline operations departments might reconsider the employment of licenced pilots who have CVD?
Closing down airlines by sending a telex at 5pm on a Friday?

Let's hope the departure of the DAS combined with some brave action by the Minister might actually turn things around.
