Jonkster, in what jurisdiction, other than Australia, can you be prosecuted for the "crime" of not following "advice" or "recommendations"???? By definition , advice or recommendations do not have the force of law. Even CASA makes this point in its advisory papers.
The entire edifice of aviation regulation in Australia is deliberately designed with so many loopholes and opportunities for CASA staff to make their own interpretations of the regulation makes the concept of "reckless" behaviour moot in my opinion. Next thing we will be told is that flying a single engined aircraft is "reckless".
