The same applies to any questions from CASA.
Unfortunately this isn't quite correct.
The name and address scenario above comes from section 456aa of the Crimes Act 1958 where a Police Officer suspects on reasonable grounds that you have committed an offence and you must provide your name and address.
Your obligations when driving a motor vehicle are covered under the transport act and you must produce your licence on request and or provide information as required to be able to identify you.
Without knowing the exact CASA reg number, I'm suspecting that given that we seem to need to provide the MR and flight plan etc, it would possibly not be the best course of action to withhold these items when they are requested.
