Folks,
A further comment on the above, Jeff has certainly got it right.
Instead of the sensible approach of graded maintenance in US, our "one size fits all" is about to hit GA for another six with Part 135, which, at this stage, will require all "Air Transport" aircraft be maintained with all the hoopla of an RPT A380.
The only reason this cost and complexity disaster hasn't hit us yet is an exemption instrument that temporally limits the "new" maintenance regulations to RPT.
Repeal the exemption, and WWAMMO!!
I guess "regulating" GA out of the sky is one way of "improving" our lamentable safety record, compared with USA.
Do you think this new CASA board will act on the rather obvious, that the "regulations" are the problem, not the answer.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Mind you, maybe future maintenance costs won't matter "all that much", because Part 135 aerodrome standards are going to eliminate most light aircraft charter, anyway.
