Thanks to Wombat for saving me the trouble and waste of time to find then read the CASA’s submission to the RRAT.
Quote:- “Australia has an enviable civil aviation safety record,….” Etc ad nauseum.
I have posted to the RRAT Senate Committee a printed copy of the Change.org petition of 2016 that I initiated titled “Save Australia’s General Aviation from bureaucratic disaster.”
Out of 2964 signatures some 1000 made particular supporting comments. Many detail personal stories about their aviation businesses going down the drain purely because of CASA’s unworkable regulations and very expensive and time consuming processes. Its a sad job to read the same stories over and over. Similarly many stories of pilots attempting to achieve medical certification through AVMED, enough to cause nightmares. If the vast majority of these pilots were flying RAAUS, or in the USA, no problem, no drawn out seeing specialists, months of stressful waiting or being knocked out altogether. And of course all of the above driving their motor vehicles back and forth to various medical premises and their DAMEs.
Sure, we are envy of the flying world, I know this being an experienced aviator. For example, I’ve removed the wings off my plane to reduce drag. Haven’t taken it up yet but in trial ground runs it accelerates with amazing speed.
