FCP,
This is Australia, you know, the air is different, hence the unique rules.
After all, if CASA didn't take a long time, they would not be able to "justify" their increasingly humongous charges.
At least be thankful that the new MOS for Part 61 exempts you from having to demonstrate and instrument approach and missed approach after an engine failure, quite a concession from CASA, after all this time.
Tootle pip!!
