So is the GFA going to bat for the AUF on this? Might be a good idea to do
so as gliding might be next.
To be effective it would require grass roots members to write to their
pollies not a submission from the exec claiming to be acting on behalf of
members.
Maybe we should push to just adopt the US FAR's on flight training which
don't require an AOC even for GA PPL training. Attack is better than
defence and if we start having wins the CASA people may retreat into their
bunkers.
If you want to join an effective political lobby with a research officer
who keeps tabs on this sort of nonsense from CASA see www.airsafety.com.au
It's even free membership!
