Triton #17.... the tragedy of it is that the many Miniscules just accept all this pap and crap without comment. Are they brain dead, or just mesmerised by the expertise of CAsA ??
Dont their advisors ever say 'what a load of bollocks' ?

Baloony...Carnage indeed....watch some Utube clips and you will see a feature of US airshows is wrecked and smoking aerobatic aircraft all over the field.! Not.

But we the Oz av-peasantry must be beholden to edicts from the Fort, full of those who know better than the most dynamic GA nation on earth...and in allowing this we have lost our rights and liberties as normal, sane, aviating citizens.

Remember.. Safe Skies are Empty Skies

A friend just did his class 2 medical last week, and the doctor did not issue the certificate himself. Because he is not a DAME 2! So not all DAMEs have gone through whatever BS "a comprehensive eLearning online training module" there is to upgrade themselves to become a DAME 2. Doctors are busy people, and no wonder they don't have time for this BS.

CASA now publishes separate lists of DAMES, and DAME 2s.

BEWARE!!!

Devil in the detail here:

Really? It’s hard to believe CASA have over complicated something?

Yes, quite out of character indeed.

I also note, they claim "To further streamline processing, the CASA Class 2 application fee has been reduced to $65..."

How is that streamlining processing by CASA?
Does it take less time for them to bank $65 than it does to bank $75?
How much time does $10 save?
Is there a time reduction on your keyboard skills to get to the 6 12.3% quicker than the 7?
Will a 6 transmit quicker than a 7 down the internet?

The ‘reforms’ are mostly a scam.

I do marvel at the fact that the DAME newsletter here: https://www.casa.gov.au/standard-pag...ary-march-2018 from Drane cites papers whose authors include himself, Pooshan Navathe and Dougal Watson. Think on the mindset of someone who cites their own papers as authority for their own opinions.

The exodus out of GA includes DAMES who will not have their clinical opinions dictated by the likes of Drane, Navathe and Watson.

If the doctor is approving the medical on the spot , then why the need to charge 75/65 dollars for “ the consideration” by CASA .
