The Boss of CASA, Mick Toller, mentioned to the
press a few days ago that OZ has as good as similar countries overseas ¹
This may be true for the heavy jet fleet, however it is not true of light aircraft
where the safety record is twice as bad as similar countries overseas
|
¹ Previous Stuff
|
As mentioned before in these
AirCentre pages - the excellent safety record of the heavy jet fleet in OZ has only been achieved
by the "sacrifice" of thousands of private light aircraft pilots and passengers who were "caught out" by
changing weather conditions and other low level dangers after having been forced to fly low because of the
heavy jet controlled airspace above
