From what I can see most GA pilots and operators have become so overwhelmed by the vast new tranches of regulations that they are adopting the attitude of "Catch me if you can". The priority has shifted from complying with regulations to seeming to comply while trying to run a viable business
I studied for a pilot license, not a law degree. While CASA scream safety, new regs do not alter my stick and rudder abilities. I am no more, or less, safe today than I was yesterday.
So how safe is it when you have over regulated to the point no one cares anymore?
