Over Regulation?

[Canuck604]

Good article on the current state of CASA and the industry. Curious to hear opinions on this, Has CASA gone to far or are all the regulations necessary? Has CASA driven the price to enter the industry up too high?

Agree, a good article.

We are definitely over regulated and they are continuing to bring in hundreds of pages of rubbish they call regulations. You can't understand them, they are disjointed, vague and usually unworkable. Written by people who don't do the work, who have little or no commercial aviation experience.

And it's all in the name of "safety", or more to the point, what they think is safety. And they have no idea. None.

The problem isn't CASA entirely, its the whole modern way of doing things ("We expect zero harm in the work place" ) . CASA is just trying to cover their bum so that if anything happened they can say "Hey we had a regulation that said not to do that we are in the clear" then the operators start playing the same game to avoid getting their bum sued and say "hey we had a half day safety meeting about not to do that, must be the pilots fault." and the poor sap who ends up holding all the blame at the end is the pilot who is just trying to keep up with the ever changing and growing legal landscape of the CARs, CAOs, CASRs, AIPS, Safety manuals, Operation manuals, POH's, Instruments and god know how much else including all their expiring qualifications because people just cant accept in this day and age that s#!t actually happens sometimes. But you know the old saying, eventually aviation will be 1000% safe because no one will be allowed to fly, but until that day CASA will do their upmost to make it as unsafe and complex as possible to insure that no blame whatsoever can be leveled at them when something happenes.
