So what do you suggest Old Akro, no checks at all, just let the whole system run itself? Maybe you found it "offensive, bureaucratic, pedantic, bullying, arrogant", because you had taken the trouble to make sure you complied so resented being checked anyway? What is your attitude when you are stopped for RBT and are stone cold sober? Part of the fees you pay to CASA go towards uncovering those owners/operators who can't be arsed to comply and they really do jeopardise your skies.
