Referring to Delegated Legislation Monitor 11 of 2020 - https://www.aph.gov.au/-/media/Committee...B9CF809D31 - I note the following under subtitle 'Implemented undertakings -

CASA EX101/19 — Helicopter Aerial Application Endorsements Exemption 2019 [F2019L01132] The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development amended the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 in response to the committee's scrutiny concerns. 21/08/2020

F2020L01051 (1)

29  Paragraphs 61.1130(2)(a) and (b)
Repeal the paragraphs, substitute:
(a) for a helicopter aerial application endorsement:
(i) for the first 10 hours—direct supervision; and
(ii) for the next 100 hours—direct and indirect supervision, at least 10 hours of which must be direct supervision; and
(b) for any other endorsement:
(i) for the first 10 hours—direct supervision; and
(ii) for the next 100 hours—direct or indirect supervision.

F2020L01051ES (2)

Items 28 and 29 in Schedule 1 of the Regulations amends regulation 61.1120 (table 61.1120, item 2, column 3) and paragraphs 61.1130(2)(a) and (2)(b) to require an applicant for a helicopter aerial application endorsement to have at least 10 hours of dual flight in a helicopter while receiving training in aerial application operations and have a combination of direct and indirect supervision for the first 110 hours of aerial application operations. The Regulations enhance the right to work as a relevant applicant will have greater flexibility in meeting aeronautical experience requirements, thereby promoting the right to work by enabling a person to apply for an endorsement earlier than otherwise available.

A bit like pulling teeth, as it has taken nearly 18 months for the miniscule Mick Mack to get off his beam end and actually follow through with his promised undertaking to ensure CASA amended Part 61. However this is a clear example of what can be achieved when there is a willingness to ensure non-partisan parliamentary scrutiny/oversight of the 30+ year behemoth of regulations contained within the CASR 1998...  

Hmm...one down how many thousands millions to go?
