For those who don't know, the FAA Third Class is what private pilots
do, like our Second Class.

CASA paper looks to me like a typical bureaucratic response when
the intention is to do nothing. Instead of simply discussing the
AOPA proposal it puts ALL medical certification on the table which
is guaranteed to draw out the process ad infinitum as people argue
about minor details of everything.

It's important to understand that the CASA discussion paper is a
response to the AOPA proposal, not the other way around.
AOPA rattled chains and kicked over the bins outside the Minister's
office in response to FAA third class medical reform: "You people
are hopeless. Why are you insisting on this bureaucratic class 2
medical system for Australia when you could be pulling your heads
out of your arses and doing what the Americans are doing?"
AOPA and SAAA wrote up a proposal. CASA wrote the DP to focus
discussion on their options instead of the AOPA option.
CASA AVmed doesn't want to de-bureaucratise the system. They'll have
to be dragged kicking and screaming into it, and whatever passes
will probably be against their objections.
That's why it's important to have your say. A one line email to CASA
will suffice; something more substantial in your own words will be even better.
