Wonders will never cease. As Soon As Possible (ASAP) or Aviation Safety Advisory Panel. My calendar must be wrong or April the First has repeated out of sequence.

Dear Darren Chester, Shane Carmody and Jeff Boyd,

After all of the inquiries and recommendations, the thousands of hours of wasted time, the millions of bytes uselessly cluttering cyberspace and the industry of General Aviation (GA) being regulated out of existence isn't it time for real reform, action to stem the loss of jobs?

Can't you see the legitimate frustrations are building in a manner that can only result in counterproductive outcomes?

Don't you see that the Holy Grail of "Safety" has been done to death? Certainly the death of GA and the loss of thousands of jobs, and opportunities for the youth of Australia to participate in aviation.

Why won't you immediately allow independent instructors (US system) so that flying can again be taught in small country centres? You should know that the number of GA flying schools have dropped dramatically and that the transition to your new and even more unworkable flying school rules will see more schools down the drain.

Why won't you immediately allow medical driving licence standard for private flying? All the evidence both from the Australian experience and all the exhaustive studies around the world is laid bare before your eyes, its time to act in the national interest.
