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.
