Arm out the Window - the point I am trying to make is that anything CASA sends out at the present time should be linked to what is the industry’s major concern and that is a one-way ratchet in the increase of costly regulations for aviation - especially when there is no safety reason for this one-way increase in cost.
Haven’t you noticed that Mr Skidmore is not game to actually mention this important fact? Why wouldn’t his letter say, “many in the industry appear to be concerned that Part 61 has increased costs when they were told this would not be the case. If you have any evidence of costs being increased, please advise.” Now that would be worthwhile! But it’s interesting, he doesn’t actually say this. Nor does anyone else within the “group think Iron Ring” actually get on top of this most important issue.
Then again, there is nothing with the Civil Aviation Act that says they have to look at cost, so I suppose they won’t.
