The word "mandatory" was never even in the fine print of the regulations; "recommended" was. However, the NAS implementation group (from Airservices Australia) insisted on using it even when challenged!
There should not be any hint of enforcement in the guise of monitoring either. It is good to see that we have pragmatic blokes like Wombat (Mike) in the CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority). My understanding is that CASA has to enforce the regulations promulgated by Air Services Australia on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia. PeterS Peter C. Stephenson RAPAC Qld.
