Taxpayer money hard at work
Tarmac t*rds rule OK.!
Just had word that some hapless aviator at Roma got a $200 on the spot finefor not having his medical paper with his licence. Medical was valid.
Also a threat of another bust because no visible ELT. Was in the seat pocket.
As you can see this is heavy duty "safety" stuff to keep the world safe from falling aeroplanes.
IMO its counterproductive- the pissed off and stressed out pilot is distracted from the task at hand when he departs.

A continuing example of stupidity and lack of risk ranking by the regulator.
My god will Senator X hurry up and push forward to give this department it's long over due colon cleansing, please!

Apart from the bleeding obvious
Hold up, have I missed a vital point or a change to Regs (easy done), but it seems to me, at face value that:-
Extract from a generic COM.

Perhaps not the full story told,
Perhaps I'm out of date, anyone advise on LAW, not policy.

CASA Aircrew.
a) Operating aircrew will, as a SOP, carry Licence and Medical certificate and present these documents on request by authorised persons without delay, in any case no later than seven (7) days from the request. CAR 5.56 (1998).
N.B. Aircrew are advised that when logbook, licence or document presentation is requested, it is better not to leave the document (s) in CASA possession. Crew will request that the document (s) be made into a certified copy and retain the actual document in their possession. There are far too many instances of "lost" document events on public record. Consult the Chief Pilot prior to surrendering any logbook information.

Unfortunately Kharon (as is the way in this country) CASA are now going to be pre-occupied with this: http://www.pprune.org/dg-p-reporting...fe-pilots.html
Or that could mean they leave the rest of us alone for a little while!

Too true, gobbledock, too true! I suppose they have to get their end of year quota up to justify their midyear bonus!
It's a bit like the pollies getting a 30% payrise in a supposedly vain attempt to get better quality candidates! Pity the drongoes that are currently there still get the payrise!

Re: producing docs...
Remember that you dont have to hand over anything that may be detrimental to yourself.
ie.. yr log book ...because ten pages back you havent completely filled in all the lines.
You are NOT obliged to incriminate yourself.
As far as I am away, it has happened in court that a CASA demand under 5:56
has fallen over on that basis.
Its a bit like yr right to remain silent. But of course our esteemed regulator just sees that as a black mark against you.
Yet another reason for prosecution..."Failed to avail himself to an interview"
When you know their case has no merit/is false but "Some people in Canberra think they can make this stick"... why would you want to talk with the fcukers!
So they can rewrite it so their words become your words. As they do /did
So....be careful

Fit and proper person
CASA do not think I am a fit and proper person to hold a commercial pilots license. Ironically Motorcycling Queensland think that I am such a fit and proper person they have awarded me Queensland Official of the Year because of my safety conscious approach towards Motorcycling.

'Fit and proper person' and section 28 of the act are CASA's 'get out of jail free cards'. They dont have to nail you with anything specific, they just put together a trail of weak ****e and attach 'don't think you are a fit and proper person' to it and you are toast. Under the current system this is legal and an accepted practise.
Hypothetically, its like getting pulled over on the road, lets say in your case John on a high powered Ducati. The copper hates Ducati's, he is a Honda freak, so the entire charade is a farce simply designed to nail you for riding a bike the copper does not like. Although you weren't speeding Constable Plod simply hates Ducati's, so Constable Plod, and his offsider, let's say Senior Constable Koontz (always two on one, another CASA tactic) decide to book you for doing 113 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. They make sure you are in an area where there are of course no camera's or anything else that could work against their 'claim' that you were speeding, and the subsequent fine. Now, let that run its course and wind up before a court and see what the outcome is. The Beak will side with Constables Plod and Koontz almost every single time, it is the nature of the tainted beast.
We live in a part of the world governed by a corrupt and stacked Westminster system.

Thx Jas
The one good thing that has come out of this nonsense is that i have made some very good friends, and the support which i am getting is unreal, thy to all of you.
Post Xmas spirit.
Out of adversity... good things will come...Hopefully !!
Our forefathers' battled it out against one tyranny,and 70 years later we have to do the same with another.
On a different scale of course, but its a fight for our entitled freedoms and the rights of the individual...not CASA's definition of what we're going to cop Regs-wise, and their disgraceful treatments dished out.
Unelected Bureaurats SHOULD NOT and DO NOT rule, and we have to ensure that is the case.
2012. The Year of Change.
I'll drink to that..! Happy NewYear !

If anyone is unfortunate to fall on the wrong side of casa then there are a good number that can offer help and give awareness of tactics used.
Happy new year to all even casa. Prove us all wrong in 2012!

I have asked casa under the foi act for my entire case,I bet I do not get all of it.because then we will see the truth and extent that they went to.
Did you look at seeking a review of the AAT decision or an appeal? If it goes to the Federal Court you can subpoena the documents but of course you face further risks as to costs if it goes against you.
Perhaps you should also be briefing the Commonwealth Ombudsman at this point as well?
Good luck

There are no birds – only bird pooh.
Curious about the fuel on board landing (FOBL) of certain, unnamed companies at the below any legal minima Mildura, recently: I rang the TVL refuel unit, which; strangely enough, referred me to Cairns. Apparently they're cousins, twice removed or some such. Anyway: to the chase.
Seems one of the current red hot Cairns rumours is, John Quadrio (a.k.a. the "Bird man") has assembled quite a case against the McComic mob facts, against fairy stories, and (somehow) acquired several (more than one ) recanted statements from star witnesses. Quite a stalemate the DAS has on his plate, if he goes the distance. (Dubious). Aye well, it's all idle speculation (at the moment), but I hear it's all downhill for the star chamber, Micro Manage Master Team (MMM-Comic enterprises): seems as though "team" got it wrong; once again.
Anyway, and just thinking out aloud here; IF it was ever proven (beyond reasonable doubt et al) that JQ was not flying "that" sequence: then who was????
Someone (CASA prospect here) has allowed a good mans life to be decimated, his health to be impared, his marriage threatened and his reputation, to be, perhaps irretrievably damaged by simply, staying quiet, getting away with it; and probably, having a laugh, over a beer with his "mates" while Quadrio's life implodes right now.
Well, make another speech there John boy. We all lurvv to hear your Yakity Yak yak yak about just how great you and your 'orrible 'little men' are; we inhale it, are inspired as were the 49'ers by it. Please, don't bugger off in September: where else could we find somewhat over 500,000 reads, supporting your agnostic attitude to pot plants. I mean No one else would even be aware of Pete (Fiona Nash's little darling) but; you; you care. Brave and honest enough to state, (in parliament, on Hansard), that you are agnostic. Bravo, can't wait for next months, not available on Birdsong, missive. DROOOL. (Can I have your autograph – puleeese)....
