A prosperous future for aviation in this country can only be assured through a regulatory framework that is balanced, fair and representative of the needs and aspirations of industry itself. Most importantly, it must be accountable to industry, the people it is there to serve.
Its really that simple.
Ooooh .... how do I break this gently....
It's not that simple. The regulatory framework is not there to serve the industry.
The regulatory framework is there to protect the public from the dangerous anarchy that would break out if the industry did not have the wise but firm straightjacket imposed on it by the experts in CASA.
But for the regulatory framework created by the masterpiece comprising the Civil Aviation Act, 1988 regulations, 1998 regulations, Civil Aviation Orders, Manuals of Standards, Directions, Determinations and exemptions, and all those wise people in CASA, you know full well that you would go wild and start doing stupidly dangerous things.
The wise but firm straightjacket is for your own, and the public's, good. Surely you feel safer as a consequence of Part 61 and are gagging at the prospect of the tsunami of safety that will happen under Parts 142/145?
