That would be the arse of the horse that draws the zeppelin, no doubt!

CASA is required to have all its regulations drafted by the Attorney-General's Department - and is a constant source of wonderment to the Canadian who heads up the Branch where those rules are managed. But then, for the road rules we have the Highway Code because the legislation is too unintelligible to be useful to any motorist.

The answer was in the Ding Duck "Swamp" cartoon from Gary Clarke many years ago:

Instructor: "Does anybody understand the Civil Aviation Regulations? Smith?"

Duck Smith: "No."

Instructor: "Correct."

At least sport & rec aviation will be able to write their own document to contain the rules that apply to them for lots of the things they do.

What gets me is that CASA have been told about a number of the cancellations and have not seen fit to make any adjustments for over 12 months. I was one day late with one of mine and I am still fighting the buggers. If they wanted to implement a new system then at least have the staff available to do the work.
Patch.

You have it the wrong way round, Ian. Bureaucracies implement new systems in order that staff give the impression of activity. Achievement is not a requirement.
