Having made a submission, I received an email from CASA about the new policy. I sent the following email in response:
Thanks for that.
(1) Does CASA consider the new policy can and will be implemented, in its entirety, without any legislative change or exemptions?
(2) If the answer to question (1) is ‘no’:
(a) what legislative changes or exemptions are necessary, and
(b) what is CASA’s estimate of the number of years it will take to arrange and implement the legislative changes or exemptions?
(3) If exemptions are necessary to give effect to the policy, what rights of merits review will exist for individual pilots in the event that one of the exemptions is subsequently revoked?
(4) If the answer to question (1) is ‘yes’, when will the new policy be given effect as a matter of practicality for applicants?
