Shortly before my mate came home from the USA he was in the process of buying and adding a Turbo Commander to his companys register. The whole process didnt look overly complicated as you worked off a generic FAA certification manual and added/subtracted the bits that applied to your operation.
When he got home he showed me one page of his FAA manual (containing only 2 paragraphs actually) which described a particular requirement. He then showed me the equivalent CASA regs which ran to 3 full pages and covered the same thing but was overly complicated to the extreme.
I think CASA could do with a flamethrower going through the place and basically start again without the current obfuscating idiots in charge. If the most litigious country on the planet can keep it relatively simple, then we have no excuse whatsoever!
Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
