With respect, and welcome to the new PMO, I think we could fairly ask why do we need to discuss risk in relation to the medical standards applied by AVMED? Presumably in the context of maintaining ‘safety’ but we know this is not an issue.
Clearly there’s no risk worth more than a passing acknowledgment. Thirty years of self declared car driver standard for the low weight category of RAAUS is proof of almost zero risk.
But look elsewhere, NZ or the USA for even more proof that our onerous, expensive and time consuming AVMED regime is completely devoid of rationality and has stopped untold numbers from flying or pushed them into the very small aircraft of the low weight category. In many cases into arguably less “safe” and certainly far less capable aircraft of the RAAUS low weight category.
The USA BasicMed certification, unlike our ‘Clayton’s’ version has 66,000 private pilots, and of course includes IFR.
It beggars belief that our BasicMed. by being only available for VFR, virtually encourages pilots not to fly in the most efficient, most controlled and safe environment of the Instrument Flight Rules system.
It just goes on and on, wherever you look at CASA’s micro management and regulatory overkill there’s example after example of the stifling of the individual and business destroying legal minefield that’s imposed on Australia’s General Aviation.
Barnaby Joyce has an opportunity to make himself a hero to many thousands of his fellow Australians and see a great resurgence of economic activity with GA growth.
Ring, write contact your MPs and State Senators and request reforms for GA.
