In any submission it should be noted that CASA have never made a safety case for the necessity of their AVMED system. There is no doubt that we who have been around for some long time did not really question the basic reason d'etre. We were younger and untroubled by the thought that we might not pass the medical and it probably satisfied some ego and self esteem. It made us special, bad luck now if you've been scotched out. You drive to the doc's surgery and then drive home. Extraordinary; when one must make logical choices when flying, yet put up with mindless habit taught on the ground. We accepted, and subordinated to a bureaucracy dedicated to its own survival, maybe just too busy to interpret the signs of decay.
Indulge me a few off topic points, and end of year off my chest comment following:-
National Wonders;
General Aviation is being smashed by bureaucratic mania, the great CASAastrophe.
The beef stock National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) electronic ear tags is expanded for sheep, and... wait for it...goats too!!
Better make that all four legged animals including alpacas, wombats and rabbits. A micro version for bees should be developed.
But wait there's more! Chooks pigs and kangaroos must be on the agenda surely! After all they are on our menus.
I suggest NILSense as a name for this program.
Predictions 2017 :-
The final assault of the Bureaucratic Horde as they burst out of soulless and sterile Can'tberra in order to fully dominate and enjoy the real Australia, vibrant, yes sometimes messy but beach accessible living.
Commonwealth and State Corporate bureaucratic governance matures into undisputed mastery and the $1 postage stamp becomes $2.
Seeing the emerging Corporate Regime sally forth, armed and threatening with more thousands of criminal strict liability regulatory provisions, we subjects doffs our lids and hide best we can.
Unable to work to the latest stringencies we sell our homes and farms to the moneyed Corporate Regime elites and downsize; some moving reluctantly to the now very cheap leaseholds in the ACT.
Our bureaucratic masters have the money, even now the the PS top dogs are earning far more, some of them millions more, than the figure head Ministers.
Happy 2017
