 Judge's decision in Royal Queensland Aero Club v. Civil Aviation Safety Authority - RQAC v. CASA
Ultimately, the Club commenced these proceedings on 7 October 1999 for the declaration referred to and for an interlocutory restraint to stop CASA contacting the "affected persons" it referred to in its 24 September 1999 letter to tell them of its view as to the invalidity of their various flight authorisations.
Successful completion of flight training provided by the Club, evidenced by their passing the tests prescribed in the Civil Aviation Regulations, entitles its clients to be issued with one or more of the various licences and ratings required by the Civil Aviation Act 1988 (Cth) and the Regulations.
The implication from reg 5.44(3) is that at least one of the objects of reg 5.42 is to enable CASA to check whether a testing officer has the necessary authority to conduct the test for which a test number is sought.
