Frank I don't blame Raa for this problem, and you are correct we do live in an over-regulated society, and most of it is pure BS that is getting a good stench to it by now.Institutions like CASA live and breath the stuff, and rely on it to justify their very existence.
It really comes down to the differerence between ideology and reality, and I'd like anyone to show me one example where not having ones RAA paperwork in order has made an aircraft unsafe, or caused even the smallest incident in past years...........Maj.....
You might like to put that to the Smith and Guthrie families where, despite ill informed comment on the accident cause and sequence in this and other forums, their husbands’ and fathers’ deaths in a Sting 2000 were directly attributable to neglect of paperwork.
Adherence to RAAus paperwork procedures would have detected false documentation, prevented faulty registration and ownership transfer, identified maintenance failures, anticipated the engine failure, provided correct operating parameters critical to safe flight and landing, and, perhaps most importantly, notified the true MTOW prior to the flight so the passenger would simply not have been in the aircraft.
In short, if correct regulatory paperwork had been followed, the flight would never have happened and two good men would still be with us so, if the current registration debacle means that one other innocent life is saved, it has been well worthwhile.
