Just don't bother reading ANY of these "regulations" and do whatever you like. F CASA! They are no longer relevant.

How does this square with the CX single pilot in the cruise thread in the other forum?

Not too sure about that, champ, but y'all may want to take this up with your company if you feel so strongly.
Let them sort it out, it's their job.
We adhere to our manual suite.

IMNAL, however as I see it, it might be the company's job to get the manuals compliant, but the offence of strict liability in this case lies with solely the PIC - NOT the operator. Assuming you operate in the LHS, you're the one ponying up $8500 for the pee break.

If you're that convinced, then you need to take it up with your employer.
You could refuse sectors over 2 hours, and avoid drinking coffee.

Let's know how you go.

In case it’s not obvious this thread is not about me, nor my employer nor my willingness to fly.

It’s about industry collating inconsistencies in the new rules.

I witnessed Mr Carmody say - several years ago - say that the rules were coming out warts and all. They’d been dragging on for too long.

Pilots should be aware of the warts (and there are more). And understand what strict liability means

The pee break will now cost you $11,100. A penalty unit is now $222.

It’s all about safety, dontcha know.

Ah....sorry, CS.
It wasn't that obvious to me.
Now I get it. You're miffed that CASA are inconsistent with their former rulings, and evolving separately to the rest of the world.
A Galapagos Island of Aviation, if you will.
I, however, think that ship of fools sailed decades ago.

With regards to the new 48.1 requirements, I have heard from a reliable source that operators who haven’t elected to get on board will receive an unwanted notification if they haven’t got on board by the 30th!

No, BS.

The move to the new ruleset is an attempt by the regulator to further harmonise with ICAO and a deliberate move away from the oft quoted Galapagos effect. If you fly EDTO you'd have seen that come in in 2015, as well as other changes since (fuel in 2019) and the obvious forthcoming.

......you lost me at EDTO.
That title in itself ****s me, and sums up my argument nicely.

Might I ask why?

....and this is exactly what I'm talking about.

You could have just answered the damn question without the snarky attitude.

Change is hard for some.

LMMFAO. I love it, I needed that laugh FOXXSTER, legend.

How is everyone’s company interpreting/applying their chosen appendix of 48.1? I am told there are some creative interpretations being fed to pilots already.

Let’s hear some of the interpretations!

I haven’t heard too many yet, mostly because people haven’t quite figured them out yet.

Watching eyes glaze over when talking the WOCL, or the delayed reporting, or the acclimatisation, is fun. Actually that’s probably my own eyes. The rules aren’t easy to decipher and follow. Tough ask for the people who have to manage it and teach the rest of us.

But yes, I believe Duck is correct. No manual submitted to CASA by the end of this month means no flying for you in July.

I’m sure every pilot will be able to fully comprehend it all, particularly with regards to changing between appendices during a single duty period. The 2 days of annual re-currency training, 28 day rosters and mandatory 6 days off within a rolling 28 day period are a few little land mines that some operators haven’t recognised yet.

Wash up is that most AOC holders will need to hire more pilots in order to remain compliant with the 48.1 regs.
