Introduction of proposed safety standard - community service flights

The proposal introduces minimum CSF pilot experience, licensing and medical requirements, requirement of flights at night to be conducted using instrument procedures instead of visual procedures and requires slightly enhanced aircraft maintenance requirements, in line with other operations within Australia involving similar participants.

I support better control CSFs. Having flown many of these flights I have been amazed to hear some of the stories that passengers have related about other flights they have taken. I would feel that an additional minimum requirement should be that the PIC should have at least a PIFR endorsement to ensure that the dangers of developing adverse weather conditions should not put passengers at undue risk.
