TSB Canada – open to give a briefing to […] Share this:So McCormick [24th February 2014] in Senate estimtes says they will now allow DAME’s to issue Class 2 certificates [PPL holders]. What a back down. The questions by Senator Fawcett continues to search for the person responsible for the CVD issues. CASA refuses to answer again. The Senator has gone to that there are no […] Share this:McCormick has just given a range of reasons why CASA is the “perfect regulator”. The aviation industry gets a monthly missive from McCormick, which is just as un-palatable self effacing material as what McCormick had to say today. The ASRR submissions do not go to the absolute problems that CASA have caused to the industry […] Share this:The following is following a 2002 application by CASA to be exempted from Anti-discrimination laws in 2002. The supporting documents and application by CASA has disappeared from the site. The following shows the histroy of the site, demonstrating that it has taken 9 years to complete the process [I am not supporting the initial application […] Share this:Big question as to when this will occur. The following from Ben Sandilands says it all. The industry must have a full reply, with real change supported by the many submissions to the ASRR. Share this:The following has been released for seminars in 2014. The last para says it all – The presentations are based on the content of the CASA website. and: Demonstrate and reinforce your professionalism and safety culture by attending a CASA AvSafety seminar in 2014. I don’t think that the seminars will “assist”, as the last […] Share this:The following appears in todays Australian [21st February 2014], as the last few para’s of the Creedy article on the ALEA submission. It has jus a single para on the resignation of McCormick. Was the reason for the press release by CASA on 14th February 2014 at 16:48 to achieve just this result – to […] Share this:The Australian has the following article today [21st February 2014]: Share this:The submission by ALEA [Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association] has just been released and like the other submissions to the ASRR, has interesting reading. The bottom line is that the ALEA is not at all happy with how CASA are doing things. Reading through the submission takes us to much the same place as all […] Share this:The full story can be found at: http://australianaviation.com.au/2014/02/casas-mccormick-to-step-down/comment-page-1/#comment-12630 Share this:The following article by Ben Sandilands has relevance today, in the bright light of the ASRR [Aviation Safety Regulatory Review] of 2014.

The last paragragh of the release is: The Board has regarded it as a privilege to […] Share this:Part 175: The new part 175 is another example of the regulator trying to micro-manage the industry. The following shows the degree to which micro-management occurs. This is one of the issues that should lead to a dis-allowance of this Part. Division 175.C.6—Data service providers—organisational requirements 175.365 Data service providers—exposition 175.370 Data service providers—organisational structure […] Share this:The review of CASA now has even more importance with John McCormick bailing out as CEO. The ASRR now should be re-aligned to deal what is an entirely new scenario. This scenario includes the following: 1. Who is in control – McCormick or the Board??; 2. Does the Board have the authority to retain McCormick??; […] Share this:Ben tells it how it is – He as well as other aviation people have been demanding answers – The answer by CASA [and the Board] is: No answer Now read on Friday, February 14, 2014 CASA director of aviation safety to stand down Ben Sandilands | Feb 14, 2014 5:45PM | EMAIL | PRINT […] Share this:Here are the CASA board details: Board role The CASA Board is appointed by the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport.

In particular, AAAA expressed strong concerns to ATSB management with previous attempts during investigations […] Share this:The following quote from the AAAA submission to the ASRR bears some particular relevance to the current inquiry and appears to fully support the notion that CASA has “lost it’s way” and that a major change needs to be instituted now. From the AAAA submission [page 16]: In fact, it was clearly CASA that had […] Share this:The following tweet, needs to be carefully thought about in CASA seeking to “sponsor” organisations. Question is, does this mean CASA has compromised what the organisations can say??, or really want to say. The old “..don’t bite the hand that feeds you..” springs to mind.
CASA @CASABriefing Feb 10 Final week […] Share this:The following is in part from the Aerial Agricultural Association of Australia (AAAA) submission to the ASRR: However, one agency must be singled out for urgent attention and significant reform.
