Brilliant.
The system would be simpler and cheaper if:
- there was just 1 Civil Aviation Rule: Everything is unlawful!
and
- CASA handed out exemptions from that Rule, with pages of conditions giving effect to CASA's current bright ideas about safety.
It would be almost exactly the same as the way they regulate now, but without the expense and aggravation of the grotesque, bastardised bugger's muddle that is the regulatory reform program.
