armout the window, the eternal CAsA apologist, is completely missing the point.
there was no reform of aviation regulation needed.
what is needed is a sensible set of regulations.
australia's massive clusterfcuk breaches human rights and individual rights in a number of areas because it was written with an ex-raaf mentality.
a mentality that has no real clue when it comes to private aviation.
you as who could do the job competently?
transport canada have an existing set of regulations that work well.
no need for reform at all.
just import their regulations and more importantly their attitudes to flying and we would be better off.
if we really must keep CAsA them make them the Commercial Aviation Safety Authority and get them out of Aeronautical Engineering Standards and private aviation completely.
I keep getting told that CAsA are actually competent.
trouble is I have 46 years aviation background, own aircraft, and I have yet to see them ever be competent.
