DGCA and the English Language!...Part 1

Just what is it with DGCA and the English Language?!
Or maybe it’s to with Regulations, or law, and long-winded sentences! Why can’t they simply write the same thing in short-sweet sentences that, most definitely, will not take up any more additional lines (and subsequently sheets) on paper, than create bewilderment of the tallest nature to the poor soul reading it !
If you’ve read the C.A.R, and the statement I’ve just written (above), you’re likely to draw a comparison blindfolded!
That’s exactly how the C.A.R is…long, and seemingly complicated! There-in lies the source of the greatest intimidation or fear that the C.A.R creates in all those who have to read it and worse still, write an exam based on it.
We are simple aviation mechanics, most of us brand new to this thing they call “Aviation” who’ve passed they’re 10+2 and gotten here with the hope that it’ll take them to their career of liking, without anymore nasty derivations/calculations/formulae etc of BSc./BCom, that require plain mugging! Where on Earth did this C.A.R pop it’s ugly head from?! Nobody told us we’re going to require to learn law when we signed up for the course! We didn’t sign up to become part lawyers! We want to be AME’S! Do you here that?!!
That pretty much sums up how I felt those days and can’t help but still feel that way sometimes.

The bottomline is, the C.A.R Appears complicated. Truth is quite the opposite!
