this is tooo serious to spend time on this ROP/LOP rubbish. Jabiru is going to go out of business and a large chunk of the RAA fleet will go with it.
CASA'a approach to this matter is the classic one - drive them out of business by delay and obfuscation with no hard evidence able to be tested in a court.
Furthermore, I suspect this was timed deliberately to put Skidmore on the spot. He either has to immediately stop this deliberate and lethal assault on RAA or he is tarred with the same brush as McCormick.
To put that another way; "Sir, this is how we have to do things at CASA, it's the LAW Sir, surely you believe in obeying the LAW?"..and Skidmore will neatly fold up, another impotent piece of taxpayer funded windbag.
