Folks,
A core of the problem seems to be that various guides, and other explanatory publications, including CASA internal training (and public statements by McCormick) plus parts of the MOS are based on the "policy" that was the intended outcome for Part 61.
However, to a significant degree, what has gone into place in the regulations no longer conforms to the "policy".
Sadly, the regulations rule.
Part 135 will be a partial fix, it will eliminate so much of the light end of GA that there will not be much left to have a problem.
Tootle pip!!
