Yeah Number 4. Make the enemy live up to its own
book of rules. If the rule is that every letter
gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill
them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

I completely understand this.
But his advice to hold CASAâs feet to the fire
about adherence to their own principles remains a good one.

Jonathan Aleck is the problem at CASA, not any
kind of solution. Has been for a long time. His
nickname is "the witchdoctor". Skidmore managed
to tell a porkie at a Senate hearing into the
Jabiru engine debacle. I wonder why? Left soon after

I had a 1:1 meeting with Jonathan Aleck this
morning, on the subject of their newly touted
âÂÂRegulatory Philosophy.âÂÂ
Aleck wrote the policy document, and says heâÂÂs quite proud of it:
<https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy>https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy
(the meeting arose because I challenged
CASAâÂÂs stakeholder engagement people
about how item 8, âÂÂJust culture,âÂÂ
applied to CASAâÂÂs actions in relation to
Fadlalla and Civil Aviation Safety Authority
[2015] AATA 331 (15 May 2015), in which a two
judge Administrative Appeals Tribunal
systematically eviscerated CASA for
enforcement overreach, bad-faith heavy
handedness, and outright fabricating
allegations against a student pilot in an
attempt to get his license cancelled after a
mistake in his flight planning caused him to
arrive at Jandakot 3 minutes after last light.
If you have an hour to spare, have a read of
the 107 paragraph decision, and marvel at how
a judge can so comprehensively dismantle an
out of control regulator:
<http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/AATA/2015/331.html>http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/AATA/2015/331.html
)
Aleck's intention is that for each action CASA
takes, whether itâÂÂs enforcement,
regulatory drafting, or policymaking, the
person within CASA who is implementing the
action should be able to explain how it is
consistent with the ten points laid out in the
statement on their website. His staff are
running internal training across the country for CASA employees.
His expectation is that where that canâÂÂt
or doesnâÂÂt happen, people like us will  and should  demand better.
I donâÂÂt think itâÂÂs possible to
defend the AVMed status quo against those ten
principles. Specifically, class 2 medicals for
private pilots offend items 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9; and since the UK and US liberalized
their private medicals, thereâÂÂs probably
an argument to be had about item 4 too.
Have at it. Two days left.

Excellent. So send in your comments to CASA
and also print out and send by snail mail to the Minister.
Make a pile of paper on his mail room desk. More impressive than emails.
Here are his contact details:

I support the AOPA proposal and the US treatment of Class 2 medicals.
I too recently did my Class 2 medical.
I discussed with the DAME how the RAMPC
requirements restrict to single engine ops,
less than 1,500kg, only 1 pax, and ops below
10,000âÃÂàAMSL. He agrees that
there is there is no science behind this.
At least in the US the proposed Class
2 allows multi engine ops, IFR, Night.
I know that many DAMEs also want change.
