ASIC renewal -RAA issues

[DonRamsay]

There are submissions to the current Aviation Review instigated by Warren Truss to get rid of ASICs altogether. The Libs say they want to reduce regulation and this is a really easy target to hit. As somebody said, do it once every 10 years like your passport - every two years is panic stations.

As mentioned by Kaz, the drivers licence photo id smart card for ALL pilots (RAA, GA & commercial would be a great idea).

I was at an airport which required an ASIC on Boxing Day. I was airside, showing half a dozen family members my aircraft prior to individual scenic flights, when a "security guard" (unarmed, and so over weight I could have escaped by walking) called us over and proceeded to berate us for parking in a parking bay that was forbidden. (The car park was empty and the particular parking bay was not marked as anything but an ordinary parking bay). At no time did he ask to see an ASIC card or any ID. (We were all airside, except for him). Good to see the system works at keeping us all safe, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
