Air Services Manager – fraud [July 26th, 2015] Why did Air Services fail to find the “fake” documents used to apply for his senior manager’s position?? The history of this is listed below and no press report could be found of the individuals initial arrest, nor a statement by #ASA. There is a basic […] Share this:#ASA Air Services manager commits fraud – jailed After having watched the Senate Aviation committee “grill” Ms Staib over missing money, with few or slow answers, it does not surprise me that they employed a person who had “faked an application” It would later emerge that even his job, a senior executive service level two, […] Share this:The phoenix, McCormick arises McCormick arises again, to protect his position, when in #casa. What occurred is now fortuitously explained, following McCormick’s hurried exit from #casa in 2014. It certainly was not important enough in 2014 and before, for McCormick to draw the attention of the aviation industry to this dangerous and extremely poor situation […] Share this:ADS-B – How do we fix this up?? The article below is a way forward and should have been the type of proposal that #casa should be working on as a proper response to #ozaviation concerns. Another ball for Jeff Boyd. 20th Jul 2015, 09:09 #413 (permalink) CaptainMidnight Join Date: Dec 2000 Posts: 713 […] Share this:Corporate “governance” in #CASA As at 20th July 2015, the following is directly from the #casa web-page. As we well know, there have been some major changes to the Board, with Jeff Boyd being appointed, Alan Hawkes leaving, but #casa has not reported this yet. We know that the following have departed: John McCormick from […] Share this:Goulburn Airport features in a risky advertisement The latest Budget Direct advertisement, which shows a close encounter of the aviation kind demonstrates the lack of care of the operator.

Navarthe has gone from AVMED and the ridiculously expensive AAT CVD case has been lost, together with the reversal of a series of AVMED – Navarthe decisions. There is a call for all those who have been affected to give their case. This continued with Dr. […] Share this:#CASA CEO misleads the aviation industry In the Edwards issues, where #CASA was to deal with the matter in the following manner, demonstrates how #CASA and it’s previous CEO [McCormick have failed industry: Documents obtained by The Australian show that two years ago, the then head of CASA, John McCormick, told one charter operator, Brad […] Share this:Mareeba Wind turbines The following report into the effects is of interest to aviation people and how effects are just buried with little or no comment, particularly if the effect may be negative on the proposal. Aviation effects at Mareeba The Company detailed to do the study was Lambert & Rehbein Aeronautical Assessment, who are […] Share this:Ministerial effect on the community – Negative impact on aviation Good article Paul [below], although with respect it is simplistic to blame the ‘political’ class for our inability to pursue reforms. After all we are all part of the ‘class’, and for that matter it could be argued that the fourth estate should wear a […] Share this:ADS-B Change process speeds and cost drops The cost continues to drop, which questions why #casa should not place a moratorium on the mandated use of ADS-B. Garmin has released new equipment, which in part: “…which meets the TSO performance requirements set forth by the FAA…” Waiting sometimes works – an appeal to the CASA […] Share this:Dick Smith nails #CASA industry “embuggerance” That #CASA is causing the aviation industry serious excess costs due to a misplaced regulatory change is well known by the industry. The David Forsyth #ASRR inquiry certainly focused on where #CASA and #ATSB were going wrong in his report and that there needed to be major changes. In […] Share this:#ASA now refusing to answer questions by The Australian Questions, which are a proper part of the transference of information and cooperation that should exist in aviation. This cooperation must exist in order that a joint improvement is made to aviation, rather than one-sided approaches. The Airservices media unit refused to provide any information or […] Share this:VIPA has more to say in escalating war between users and providers The escalating row is continuing between #ASA and user groups, with the Virgin Pilot’s group the latest to weigh into the argument. VIPA [Virgin Independent Pilots Association], mounted a very carefully worded submission to David Forsyth’s ASRR, which was followed by support for […] Share this:Airservices [#ASA] Angus Houston fires up “a discrepancy” The blame game continues, when the “Quango’s” do not want to be caught out in what they say and what gives a truly effective and ultimately safe outcome for aviation. The recent articles in the Australian take us to the long-term concerns of Dick Smith, which in […] Share this:May missive by Skidmore Skidmore continues to explain away how CASA can improve. “…fully accept CASA can make improvements in both the way regulations are developed and implemented. We do start with the intention to make new regulations…” That of course is not what is occurring, evidence Part 61 mess and the numerous “…exemptions…” “….more […] Share this:June 2015 Missive by Skidmore A short read of this shows CASA is still going the way of “…we know best, if you think differently, you must prove it to us…”. This means there is the opportunity for people in the aviation community to show CASA how the right safety outcomes under the regulations can […] Share this:Part 61 problems identified with some resolution by #CASA The press release of the AHIA [Australian Helicopter Industry Association] deserves a read and the release is produced below in full. The more cynical among us would wonder why this took so long to get some resolution. It still is a long way from completion, with […] Share this:Jeff Boyd assumes control over #CASA At long last, a major step forward to properly start and correct the wobbly flight path of #CASA and #ASA [AirServices] has commenced as Jeff Boyd takes control of the #CASA Board and starts to give proper direction to #CASA over serious air-space issues.
