Iron Bar... yes, a severe strain on the budget indeed.

CAsA conned my log book from the solicitor, and had a great time going back thru it , counting the lines incomplete. Bang , Gotcha ! Strict liability and all that, multiplied.

Never heard of an incomplete log book line bringing down an aircraft, but there they go.
I read recently the the penalty for this is now $10.7 K..!! Are they for real???

And for smoking in an Airline toilet . CAsA recently had a 'chest puff' on that.. getting tough ... Fine now $900. !! Thats if the overseas pax ever respond..!
And if any fire so caused was contained, and as has happened the aircraft crashed.!
Try that with a log book.!

I was advised 15 ? years ago that non-safety offences eg log book lines were to become civil penalties, minor fines. But as you can see the only changes are ...worse !
CAsA loves the 'big hit' and the big money.!

All very amusing !

Provided you met the medical standard??
Which is often why RAOz pilots are quite safely flying with, and have been flying safely with, the same medical standard for them to drive their motor cars, or for non-PPL or up holders from other self administrative orgs. to fly in CTA.
After all, many RAOz pilots would just like to be able to fly along the, say, NSW coastline instead of having to fly inland over severe tiger country.
Tootle pip!!
