Dick,
The title of the thread does mis-cast the official position as espoused by Mr. Skidmore, is that CASA is never wrong, therefor there is no mistake to correct.
I suggest this, based on his public statements rejecting the widely voiced opinion that CASR Part 61 is just one big mistake --- that is just getting bigger with every new batch of Exemptions --- such exemptions, of course, should not be characterized as correcting mistake, but merely CASA introducing a level of flexibility at the request of "industry".
I guess that means the CASA Chairman's comments about Part 61, and all the "band aids" that the Exemptions, in his view, represent, cannot be taken as the views of the management of CASA.
Tootle pip!!
