Now that has to be one of the funniest things I have EVER read on PPRuNe. That is a stupid statement. Ask ANY LAME about how many faults are actually written up. HaHaHa
So get CASA to save aircraft owners like Dick Smith these ridiculous costs, and instead get them to spend their time and money on enforcing the penalties on pilots for not recording aircraft defects.
Those pilots you refer to are wilfully breaking the law.
Perhaps if that culture didn't exist, there wouldn't be ridiculous inspection costs on aircraft owners.
In fact, if it weren't for CASA and these ridiculous expenses, perhaps aircraft owners could afford a new aircraft and their 40 year old c172 could be sent to the scrap heap where it belongs.
