Agree with all you say, Casey. See my reply to Bob Ward for the latest. All the best, Paul
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Casey Jay Lewis Sent: Friday, 20 December 2013 8:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Petition to remove ASIC (Paul Mander) Paul, There is no such exemption for sport aviation. The only exemptions are for RFDS and emergency services personal. The requirement for an ASIC has nothing to do with the category or class of operation nor sporting body or licence type. If you want to access a secure area of a security controlled airport that conducts RPT operations, you need an ASIC. You can fly a privately owned B737 from Cunderdin to Forrest (WA) without an ASIC. Your CFI is woefully mistaken. They are a blight on the industry. An unnecessary expense without demonstrated benefit and as another poster said, a knee jerk reaction to a single event on the other side of the planet. A bureaucratic placebo, an affront to common sense. Why I need to an ASIC to stop for 200l of fuel at Coffs Harbour is beyond me. As is why I need to pay $200.50 every 24 months when there has been zero change in my criminal convictions. Petitiion signed, colleagues and friends encouraged to do the same. Casey.

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.
