Actually the RAA did the opposite, they vigorously opposed the actions proposed by CASA but one of the reasons might be that they didn't want to go against their sponsor and loose income themselves??


Jabiru has had years to sort this engine problem out but for some reason they haven't done so, I don't know why?? but their engines have a very bad name in the industry which is a shame because the airframe has no real issues. If they could retro fit the Rotax engine that would fix all their problems.


Anyway CASA has done what it had to do, companies go broke all the time and new companies start up, CASA shouldn't worry about the company and their profit margins or shareholders, they need to worry about the public that get in these RAA aircraft.


I don't always support CASA, but as many people in the industry have said they have got this one right.
