The MARAP is simply a document to read and allocate an invoice to. In respect of the one in this post, its just an excuse to charge money for something not required. Which in itself cannot really be substantiated.
Since I have beed involved in Aviation which is all of 5 minutes, I have seen gaping holes in some things, over regulation in other garnished with a whole heap of b/s. Don't ever mention Condition Reports to me either…..that will wind me right up 🙂
You pay the fee for the engineering? And IF someone else needs the same…..they just resell their existing work on to the next Joe for the same money. Its called profiteering and people wonder WHY I want Part 103 USA?
You know what? Just get an FAA FAR Part 103 compliant aircraft and just fly.
Fcuk the rules, CASA could not catch a cold, let alone an unregistered, unlicenced pilot flying around outback Qld, no matter where it was.
Yes I agree IF someone else is affected in any way.
Since pilot is unlicensed and aircraft is unregistered and is not certified and flown on own private property.
Aircraft was not illegal to purchase etc. Then all risk is accepted by the pilot undertaking the activity. Looking at an Insurance PDS, there will be no valid claim against any policy. I have recently been certified of sound mind by Phycological Examination prior to updating my Will. So, all my marbles are present and correct 🙂
I have realised I need to start at the start, to establish credibility.
To me, that means a meeting with the FAA itself.
I think I have enough contacts, to achieve that……
Look at how many big shot car racers and aviators with thousands of hours training have died? IF I fly on my own property I can only kill myself?
Yet ONE man can take 4 passengers and himself in a totally uncertified vessel to their deaths. Govts stood by and did nothing, even with all the publicity.
We DONT live in a perfect World, and how boring it would be anyway.
One thing you don't understand is…..you DONT need a licence to fly. the aircraft does not CARE. Just like a car, bonus is you can drive legally without a licence on your OWN property, just like you should be able to fly your plane…..
No one, not even the FAA keep records of incidents or crash statistics. They have the understanding that the Part 103 people just run their own race and stick to the FAA A4 1 page of rules. Bet no one even gets a ramp check 🙂
I got into a scrap with a broker over dishonest advertising in part by a vendor who handled the truth loosely. But the broker said they all do it that way.
Backward thinking Australia all over, life has its elements of risk and nothing is perfect, just look at our recent most tragedy. All the qualifications in the World could not stop it……it comes down to the brains or lack of by an individual.
Its impossible to protect all individuals, from themselves despite having mountains of rules…..
