Get ready to start showing AOC's, Insurance, Pilot license/medical, MR/Tech logs, etc... to your passengers... ;)

They need to proof-read their stuff:
• Check whether your pilot whether they have a valid a ‘Class One Medical’ certificate.

And the picture of the B206 is printed backwards.

Some more huggy-fluffy stuff on their site:

​​​​​​​By placing First Nations people at the forefront of its reconciliation work, CASA has the potential to drive considerable reconciliation outcomes across its sphere of influence.

Yeah, but what are CA$A doing to revive General Aviation? Is this really achieving anything, other than Virtue Signalling? Does it increase safety and reduce costs to operators?

So CASA have reinvented the Bell 206 with the T/R on the starboard side: brilliant :ugh:

Oh yes - each and every pax - it's fun on a QF A380!

The job of a regulator is to regulate the industry so that the general public does not have to

Certify the fire prevention system at the school where I drop the children
Ensure the hygiene of the kichen at the restaurant where I eat
Certify the used cars on the road are technically reviewed

is CASA saying: we are not doing our job, its up to you the public to sort out your own safety.
I have to review my list of 3rd world countries, last time I checked Australia was not in it.
