At CASA 101 page http://www.casa.gov.au/avreg/newrules/casr/101.htm
it states in "Key proposals included in development"
"a small UAV may be flown by an unqualified person in certain conditions without any form of certification."
CASA states up front in its own key proposal that there is a condition in which one can operate without certification.
As I've pointed to before in the actual 101 reg's it states that condition
101.235(2)a and b states no part of Subpart F applies to small UAV operated in line of sight of the operator at all times and complying with Subpart G safety regulations.
(I dont see any other case that covers that "condition" in 101).
Which follows with CASA key proposals in the regulations passed into the act allowing a certain condition to not require certification.
Now "legaly" it appears that there is no such case and fact ALL cases a small UAV require certification CASA now states.
Surely CASA had a legal position for its own
"Key proposals" and by the time that made it to an act of parliment as 101.235
The more I read at CASA, the less sense it makes.
If it is to follow the conditions that apply to full size aircraft re aerial work, well it doesnt at CASA itself.
Can any of you make sense of it ?
