If it isn't dodgy, why do others get such heavy scrutiny?

Just doesn't sound reasonable to me.
In the case of photography I hear whispers that it all came about as a part of a vendetta against a particular pilot CASA didn't like.

However if a Real Estate agent takes his aircraft up and sells heaps of land from the photos but doesn't sell the photos it's ok.Go figure.
(It may be estate agents are friends of CASA as they sell airports for housing estates thus reducing flying thus increasing safety.)

What has being reasonable got to do with CASA rules?


If an employer flies a team of say plumbers to a job in his own plane it's a private flight as it should be. If in order to complete that job they sell one tap washer that they carried with them it's a commercial operation.

The current government claims to be busy helping business by removing outdated stupid laws.

Perhaps Mr Truss will sort this mess out. HA HA HA HO HO HO COUGH COUGH!!!!! Sorry about that. I know it wasn't funny.
