CASA Brief
 

So your point is????

Point is that there is a head of CASA who doesn't seem to know much about the larger part of his jurisdiction - GA.

Of interest is the aparrent fact that the good Senators are mostly interested in their own aviation safety (I charter a Baron occasionally - how much would it cost to fit TAWS in that? Where can I find out who has a Baron with TAWS?).

McCormick obviously has their measure, they were fairly tame with him I thought. Honeymoon period perhaps?

Thank you Horatio.

Seems the CEO knows far less about GA than I thought possible.
Ditto for his side kick.

DAMP test stats also of interest especially as I requested these from Casa DAMP auditor who imformed me that they were not available as they are confidential. Not so it appears.

Very interesting read!
