I have written to my federal Member, Sharman Stone about this and other regulatory disasters.
I also sent a copy to Sussan Ley, Health Minister, who flies her own C182 RG around her very large electorate and asked her if she would cop the fines.
My Auster has never had an AFM and operates on an exemption. I have a check list with my MR but it has never been authorised under 232 to my knowledge.
I wonder what the cost-recovery fee to approve will be. And I wonder how much it will cost to have an authorised and approved checklist prepared by a competent aero engineer?
Yes it's BS and the people doing ramp checks will probably be reined in with another exemption but the point is that it shouldn't happen!
