It’s hardly a revelation that pilots are in charge of their aircraft.
But does a ‘mea culpa’ attitude really progress our desire to make better?
Firstly we do need an atmosphere in General Aviation of responsibility rather than the fear of being caught. The present CASA induced environment is wrong and leads to the idea that it’s nearly impossible to fly within all the rules all the time. Some rules are contradictory, many are unworkable, impractical and often lead to excessive and unproductive costs.
Maybe once being in the habit of contempt for CASA and its rules then there’s an atmosphere of anything goes?
Certainly one thing stands out in our straight jacket of regulatory hell, there’s no room for innovation or change.
