There's something about a pilot's licence that infuses in its holder the confidence to assert in one sentence what law professors take volumes to explain.

So wagit, it's CASA who makes the sky rules and the police who make the road rules. Let's assume that's true. The point of protesting in a court is therefore.........what exactly?

Brian H: AT LAST WE'VE GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MISCONCEPTON UNDER WHICH YOU ARE LABOURING.

Flying without a current medical certificate is A STRICT LIABILITY OFFENCE. Mens rea IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF THE OFFENCE.

It's no different from driving a car without a licence. The offence is made out once the actus reas is established.

I've made my views on the Lave Evalla tragedy clear in the thread to which you referred.
