I'm confused and also not surprised.
The latest version of this instrument was released on Saturday December 20th saying that it needed to go before Parliament, however would be enforced by Christmas, but we all know parliament doesn't sit till late January. It has been suggested to me that CASA do not have the power to enforce such actions without parliamentary approval.
I then check the website today and find out that the instrument came into effect on 23rd December (practically Christmas Eve as we all predicted).
Does anyone else remember the reference to parliament? I should have screen captured it, doh
How is an owner expected to know this and not break the law? I've seen no emails about it, nothing from CASA, zip. Is an owner / operator expected to check the latest media release section on the CASA website considering this instrument bans Jabirus operating into Bankstown for example. Too bad if you landed there and didn't know !
