Squawk, unfortunately for this bloke, the myth is not busted. Yes, you are correct he had to go and see Plod and get served with it. Getting it in the mail was my assumption
Looks like he is at the mercy of the Magistrate, although apparently he did training somewhere, but to what extent I don't know, and the aircraft was registered when he bought it, but again unsure of the current registration status

The part of this story that doesn't ring true, is that a country cop knew ANYTHING about aviation law. I have had the pleasure of being in the blue suit myself, and there is nothing about aviation law taught at the Copper Refinery - at least in NSW.
Most cops would just gawk at the plane, without any recognition that there was no rego, or that the pilot was required to be licensed by the AUF. Way out of his field.

Yes, but this flatfoot is something else. I would venture to say that there would not be many truck drivers in Australia who have not heard of this bloke or had the displeasure of his personal presence.
His most famous act is booking a bloke who was going fishing with his kids for not having his esky tied down in the back of his ute!
If he was after this guy, (and rumour says he was), don't worry, he would have done the appropriate research.

Just an observation....... This story does not "ring true".
1. The offences you mention relate to Commonwealth legislation. PC Plod is a State employee who would not normally have jurisdiction in Commonwealth matters.
2. The charges you mention would be the result of a CASA investigation. You suggest CASA issued a Summons without prior inquiries or investigation?
3. Summonses don't normally "arrive in the mail", but must be served with Notice of Service signed, certified and returned to the Court.
Doesn't sound right to me either.

Exactly Woomera,
I have a faxed copy of the "Notice to Appear" and there is no mention anywhere of "Commonwealth of Australia" or "CASA". The form refers to "Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000". The offences are listed followed by "These are general particulars of the offence(s) only."
As mentioned previously, the notice was handed to him, not in the mail as I posted incorrectly

... you wouldn't be caught dead flyin' a Grumman "Yankee."
... you refer to flying in formation as "We got ourselves a convoy!"

... when you are the owner of Red Neck Airlines and pilot of Redneck One.
... you subscribe to The Southern Aviator because of the soft paper!
... you have ever incorporated sheetrock into the repair of your aircraft.
... you have ever responded to ATC with the phrase "That's a big 10-4!"
... you typically answer female controllers with titles like "sugar" or "little darlin'."
... she responds with the words "Honey" or "Big guy" then she may be a redneck.
... you have ever used a relief tube as a spitoon.
... you glance down at your belt buckle to help you remember your N-number.
... you have ever tried to impress your girlfriend by buzzing her doublewide.
... the preprinted portion of your weight and balance sheet contains "Case of Bud."
... your go/no-go checklist includes the words "Skoal" or "Redman."

CASA doesn't issue a summons, the DPP does. Who said the local plod doesn't have a CPL and therefore would know Air Law roughly?
This guy should spend time in the big house to teach him a lesson. No Licence, Un-registered etc... We wouldn't be so kind to him if he crashed into a school yard would we?
"Mr xxxxxx, come in and meet your new cell mate Tiny. He'll take gooooood care of you."
