CASA has neither confirmed or denied that it plans to ramp-check general aviation pilots arriving at Narromine for Ausfly.
In a statement released to Australian Flying today, a CASA spokesperson hinted that ramp checks could be part of their involvement with the event.
"A number of CASA people will be attending Ausfly 2015," the statement says. "We will be assisting the event organisers, conducting safety education forums, oversighting the air-display and may conduct ramp checks.
"The main focus of CASA’s activities, including any ramp checks, will be educational. Ramp checks give CASA personnel an opportunity to talk with pilots while reviewing documentation, asking about preparation for flight and looking at aircraft. CASA personnel can and do provide advice where appropriate.
"It is also a chance for pilots to ask questions of CASA and discuss any current issues. Ramp checks are a great opportunity for CASA personnel to meet private and recreational pilots who otherwise have little interaction with CASA."
Pilots planning to fly into Ausfly from 4-6 September might do well to prepare for possible ramp checks. Details of what needs to be checked are available on the CASA website.
