David J, gee whiz you are a stickler.... but oh no! you’ve uncovered a whole new field of CASA rules discrepancies!
Suspect a new Manual Of Standards (MOS) must be in the pipeline, and a new 1000 page manual devoted to EE (Exceptions & Exemptions). For example, are we not required to take a sample of fuel as part of the duties for the Daily Inspection? Could be tricky if the voltage is more than about 30v. Never mind, a taste test would appropriate, a couple of wire probes from the battery to the tongue, making sure the correct tingle (we could get into practice with extremely hot curries). Then we are always cautioned not to simply trust quantity gauges. We are urged to ‘eyeball’ actual fuel levels, the equivalent safety standards here will be satisfied by the degree of eye bulging after the tongue test
for electron quality.
Watt next? There’s no doubt that there’s a battery of new measures which will accumulate and amplify over the next few years as all implications gain currency. Aviation Hearse will be busy for years conducting industry consultations, making up new criminal rules, then exemptions for some.
