“The time has come," the Walrus said,
“CASA has said it is considering a phased introduction of the new MOSAIC LSA rules as it continues to work on on policy and regulation changes that will enable Australia to take advantage of new designs.”
“Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.”
CASA - “We’ve been closely monitoring the roll out of MOSAIC in the United States, which began this month, and see it as a positive policy direction that can be progressively introduced in Australia," the spokesperson said.
"But it will require regulatory changes, and we’re considering our policy approach with a view to phased implementation."
AOPA - “MOSAIC is the result of years of collaboration between the FAA and industry organizations, including AOPA, and will significantly expand access to general aviation and modernize how light sport aircraft are defined and certified.”
Reading the through the CASA blurb, one could be forgiven for assuming that regulators, industry and makers, world wide, were 'surprised' and the FAA had dropped an unexpected bombshell. But it ain't so, is it? MOSAIC has been coming for quite a while now and is definitely no bombshell. Outfits like AMROBA have kept abreast of the process and been anticipating how the the crippled Australian 'system' will need to be modified to adopt the new benefits provided.
“It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' says the White Queen to Alice.”
When one 'runs' a flight operation and 'new' legislation is in the wind, it is good practice to get ahead of the game and consider how the anticipated 'new' stuff will affect operations and review company documents to accommodate the expected changes, particularly in relation to 'liability' for compliance and 'approvals' related to operations. Last minute rushed changes can often open the door to the unexpected.
Not so with CASA; read the blurb above (carefully); are these the words of a plugged in, ahead of the game outfit? Nosirreee. Despite the 'history' of MOSAIC and the alleged 'close monitoring' there is no mention of the backroom work done in anticipation of the changes, nor any clear indication that the 'new' rules can be quickly and seamlessly brought 'on line'. Once again, the world 'rocks-on' while CASA basks in the comfort of 'make work' complications, avoiding ICAO compliance and re-inventing the wheel.
“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in double-think”
