Darwin award candidates and CASA fodder
It means that they are making life easier for operators (although not easier to understand for the barely literate).
Currently your SMS manual and your Human Factors/Non-technical skills course is approved by CASA and once approved it is set in stone.
The whole point of SMS ad Human Factors courses is that they are supposed to evolve with the business and with experience - the normal CASA process means that you need to submit changes to your FOI or a subject Matter Expert for them to approve.
This is invariably followed by a to-and-fro over the spelling of "colour" vs "color" and "hamonise" vs "harmonize" and takes 12 months at the end of which CASA slaps you with a NCN because you haven't made timely amendments to your manual suite as required by CAR 215.
By removing the requirement for CASA proof-reading and sub-editing they allow the operator to get on with business.

HB,
Maybe you should write this stuff, at least is would have a chance of being understandable.
I can "interpret the dross"
as well, but issue is this material shuld be well written and not rely on "interpretation" or a referral as "what does this mean??"!!!

Or maybe CAsA have realised that they don't actually have SMEs capable of actually understanding the material and approving it. Sort of putting responsibility back onto the operators.......
Yes, makes it easier for operators which is good. They are the ones actually out there doing these things as opposed to sitting in Canberra picking fault with documents.
The less interference from Government employed bureaucrats, the better. This is one decision that I think is actually a good thing for the rest of us. Might also give 'em time to find another way of screwing us? Guess we'll see.
