The Casa session was interesting. It would seem CASA is endeavouring to force everyone into producing an FRMS.
One question I didn't see asked was how much would it cost to produce an FRMS and get it approved, all to continue doing what they have been doing safely for years.
There is also a niggling feeling that the whole process is about absolving CASA of liability rather than safety.
Produce overly prescriptive regulation that forces people to spend money on approvals that were not necessary in the first place.
In other words an over complicated make work program.
If it was about safety and cost effectiveness, far simpler to just adopt FAA rules, as New Zealand did, their industry thrives ours dies, go figure.
