No, Ultralite, sadly that is NOT what it say, I suggest you read CAR 232 as it is written, not as you think it is written.

The problem lies in the fact that CASA requires far more than the AFM checklist (whether they should or not is another legal argument, despite CAR 138) as a "flight check system", of which such "checklists" as CASA dictates will be part, and flight check system has to be approved for each and every operator.

Thus, if for example, there of 10 owners of a C-172 on your airfield, and each is the registered operator of his/her C-172, that is 10 separate flight check system must be approved by CASA.

This is what CASA do to AOC operators all the time, and it is almost "standard" that, if there are, say, two Kingair 200, with two different registered operators, the two CASA approved "flight check systems" will be very different, depending on the FOI. About all you can guarantee is they will be quite different to the manufacturer's recommendations, ie: the AFM.

For some years there was an exemption ( great regulation, write a regulation, then exempt about 80% of Australian aircraft) for most single engine aircraft and some others, in private operation, but that seems to have lapsed, at least in the belief of two CASA regional offices.

It is lunacy.

Tootle pip!!
