The suggestion that RAAus pilots are necessarily competent to fly in CTA is foolish based on the poor overall standard of competency to do even the most basic things, in my experience.
After teaching RAAus students to CASA standards bearing in mind the RAAus standards are considerably lower, I have no hesitation warning strongly against this proposal.
I believe that RAAus and CASA should not be engaging in discussions that provide a private company to hold the powers to decide who shall be competent to fly, let alone in CTA where the risks are so much higher to OTHER parties.
It is my firm belief that Self Administration remains the single most dangerous element of aviation in Australia and the RAAus is an example of a business that should never have been permitted to administer such a major part of aviation in this country. CASA should seriously re-consider the Part 149 self-administration concept before the RAAus business continues down the pathway that sees it try to take a stranglehold on recreational aviation, continue to abuse its powers and further embarrass the aviation industry in Australia on the international stage.
I would applaud any CASA decision to limit rather than extend the powers, administrative reach and privileges of the RAAus and its membership further.

Will this have any impact on you or your operation?
