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.

This is a poor recommendation by CASA. Once again the squeeze on GA in Australia will become more and more if this is passed. This will also prove beyond any doubt in the eyes of GA pilots that CASA shows a complete disregard to the people and industry doing work for the better good of Australia. CASA need to move into 2018 and update the Act and any subsidiary legislation to take on a more self regulated model which has proven to have far better safety outcomes!
