The Self Administering Organisation model seeks to make the SAO responsible for 
ensuring that the laws are obeyed. Under the Part 149 arrangements CASA will 
only act at the request or report of the SAO. CASA relies on this concept so 
leaves these sort of issues to the relevant body so in this case if there is 
doubt that the law (or rules) are not complied with the GFA is obliged to act – 
at least to investigate. It is as easy as a set of scales at the launch pad.

That said if CASA was aware or believed or was provided information that an 
aircraft was being operated outside its limits or the pilot was unfit to 
operate said aircraft they would be proactive. The bigger the aircraft the more 
so but the principle still applies. 
If even just a rumour exists in V8 Supercars or F1 that the rules are being 
broken.......
