Paul,
What does he mean that Sports aviation pilots do not require an ASIC ? When I
land my RV7A at any RPT serviced airport, I certainly require an ASIC. When Pam
and Gerrit recently used several RPT serviced airports on the way to Burketown
and return, I understand that they were required to produce their ASIC more
than once? I am sure that this guy has it wrong.
Regards
Bob Ward

Our CFI has sent a note to our club (BSC) membership recommending that no one
should sign the petition to remove the ASIC requirement.
Here is his advice: Be aware that sport aviation pilots do not have to hold an
ASIC card. Raising this issue with no research to show that the Government is
likely to listen may only put our exemption at
risk. So far as I know there is no intention on the behalf
of the Government to relax security restrictions - far from it as I understand
it.
AOPA does not support the air sport organisations or self-administration. I do
not understand why AOPA is acting on behalf of sport Aviation with out our
knowledge. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GET INVOLVED UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND WHAT
IS GOING ON. If AOPA wants our support they know very well who to come to.
Anyone know about this? I’ll be taking it up with him, of course, and will
advise accordingly.

Ladies & Gents,
The following is a link to a petition to abolish the ASIC card:
http://tinyurl.com/removeASIC
I contend that ASIC Cards are an unnecessary impost, particularly in the light
that a risk assessment (in my view) would determine a very low or negligible
effective deterrent against terrorist or subversive intentions; I frankly
resent the implication that we, who are properly identified during training &
work hard to gain our qualifications, then are required to submit to further ID
checks with the dubious privilege of paying for same.
Please consider your support for the petition & circulate to colleagues.
Thanks,
PeterS
