I always find it a bit rough when ATC/CASA give you a talking too when you didn't break any rules
But, pilotchute, this is Australia, after all. About the only right a pilot in command has, is to be intimidated by the bureaucracy, and the right to take the blame when it all turns to custard. Have you seen the draft CASR Part 91?? Where the forgoing is codified.

This goes double if the situation leads to any public or political embarrassment of said bureaucracy. Think Norfolk Island, just for one.

After all, Oh!! Shock!! Horror!! an IFR aeroplane was held up so that another aeroplane could operate safely --- can't have that nonsense, after all, the IFR generates revenue, got to get your priorities right. And, of course, unlike the US ATC service, here the biggest revenue generators get priority.

And then, notwithstanding the fact that you have not breached any regulations, you will be hounded out of the Australian industry, the "word will be dropped" to potential employers, potential jobs will not materialise.

Then you will head of overseas, and in the normal course of events, if you play your cards right, you will have a HCRPT command in 8-10 years, maybe a lot less, and for the rest of your career, pay a lot less tax than in Australia, on an equal or (often much) higher income.

With a very long memory, and a long time in the industry, I can quote all too many examples.

Finally, doesn't matter how big your aeroplane, or how you do it, stay well away from TS/TCu.

"Dead On Schedule" just ain't worth it. The accident record has plenty of examples of why!!

Tootle pip!!
