I am surprised that there has been no discussion of CASA's proposed new rules for fuel requirements on this site.
I'm not surprised.
Some people understand the concept of not running out of fuel, and have sufficient knowledge and expertise to mitigate the risks of doing so. Some people don't.
Neither group cares much about the latest regulatory non-solution to the underlying problem.
The really important aspect of the current proposal is that the substantive fuel carriage requirements are moved to an instrument made (and changeable) by CASA. There is no fuel carriage standard or outcome specified in the law. This is, of course, directly contrary to all the promises and representations made about the regulatory 'reform' program. But nobody should be surprised about that.
This structure will allow CASA to more quickly implement the next non-solution to the next manifestation of the underlying problem. Again, nobody should be surprised about that.
