On behalf of an absent associate, for your consideration:-

Folks,

I would remind everybody that Part 61 plus MOS plus Advisory Documents plus CASA policy/interpretative/training documents now runs to 2200 pages and growing, not the 600 pages below. The total of pages that is legislative is about 1700.

The inconsistencies, conflicts etc. are simply impossible to manage, without a wholesale re-write on a basis that complies with the Government policy for red tape reduction.

Only now are people in the aviation community waking up to the real costs of this monster.

I cannot afford to do the multiple reviews now required, (about 6) to do what I did with one biennial flight review before last September.

In a recent Flying article, the Australian v. NZ requirements for a review were in stark contrast, and the Australian cost greatly underestimated the total, if you include multi-engine or IFR/PIFR.

Under Part 61, the PIFR has been completely changed, it is now little different to a CIR, I guess we will go back to the old figures of UCFIT (uncontrolled flight into terrain).

The whole point of the PIFR has been lost.

Cheers,
