I have the same issues when dealing with CASA when going to recurrent training at an overseas simulator training school such as Flight Safety or CAE in the USA.
It is a nightmare straight from hell.
Greg Hood wrote/signed off CAAP 5-14 some years ago and it was a bright shining light but it doesnt work anymore.
5 days of recurrent training vs. 1.5 hours for in IR renewal in a Duchess with a local examiner. It seems that they have always preferred the latter because the paperwork is easier.
And they cant understand the concept that a 5 day recurrent is both an aircraft proficiency and instrument proficiency chack, not just one or the other.
Someone recommended "More Human" by Steve Hilton on another thread....I also find it coincidental that I get a lot of spam email concerning "Restore Lost Hair" these days.....I wonder if someone has linked that to "CASA" online.
