Everywhere we look we see doom and gloom for general aviation. Our regulator sees the decline and has no answers. The industry complains loudly but has no plan to save itself. All wring their hands and predict the demise of general aviation.
Not us! Not Leisure Flight Australia, the fighting force of the major private GA organisations in Australia.
We look at the success of “sport aviation”, such as ultralights, gliders and others. We look at the success of the Experimental amateur built movement. We note the acceptable safety record and ask, “Why not general aviation?”
The answer is breathtakingly simple. “Sport aviation” is self administering and is able to form safety regulations that suit recreational activity. Experimental amateur built aircraft regulations allow the builder freedom, but put operating limitations on him if he builds something unsafe. These regulations are tuned to the real, sensible needs of the participants and third parties.
General aviation is governed by rules primarily designed to protect fare paying passengers and other “uninformed” parties. Those of us who fly for fun understand the risk and accept it. We need safety rules to match this reality.
We are determined to achieve self administration. We are determined to provide administration services cheaper and better than CASA can. We are determined to achieve an excellent safety record. Click the menu on the left to see what we are doing.
