On the […] Share this:Senator McDonald is available for aviators to meet in Charters Towers to meet with FNQ aviators and GA personnel. She has a busy schedule and cleared it to listen to matters relevant to us in the region. In the past 6 hours, people have been contacted in Townsville, Ayr, Rockhampton, Innisfail, Mareeba, Charters Towers, Cloncurry, […] Share this:In the past 10 years there have been huge changes in the #aviation industry. Most are illusory and not required for a dynamic industry. Safety has not improved, despite there being top-down extremely obstructive regulations. The regulatory set, which has been in progress for 30 years is not complete and is proving to be a […] Share this:The current inquiry by the Senate follows the loss of Don Kendall in the first Angel flight crash in August 2011 and the subsequent Mt. Gambier accident. The inquiry is looking at whether or if there is a basis for the #atsb report and the findings. We note that this is not the first #atsb […] Share this:The Senators appear to finally, by their own attitude, are finally “getting”, what we in #aviation already know, #casa are inherently corrupt. The hearing, when you listen to the #casa response [Part -3], used an attendance register to say the the #aviation industry “…signed off…”. This is the type of attitude that the industry have […] Share this:Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake. Here are the resolutions arising from the #aviation meeting in Wagga over the past two days [see below]. There has been some well thought out ideas here, which can be boiled down into: Review of the Civil Aviation Act, to include as a minimum, a repeal of […] Share this:I have been listening since 10am this morning to the experienced aviators in Wagga today. Hopefully this will not be the result from the meeting!!. I am the eternal optimist! The programme is extensive displaying the depth of experience. The drive by the AOPA Board to this end, started by the Dick Smith Oration […] Share this:Alan Jones talks to Dick Smith about flying training today [30th May 2018] Dick Smith Oration LNP policy support for immediate changes to Civil Aviation Act and review and change the regulations. In July 2015, Dick Smith made earlier comments on the #casa malaise How do I see this in 2018?? We now have […] Share this:Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Australia DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR GENERAL AVIATION CONSENSUS ON UPDATE TO THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT. AOPA Australia President, Marc De Stoop, and Executive Director, Benjamin Morgan, and AMROBA Executive Director, Ken Cannane, today met with Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack to discuss our support for changes to the […] Share this:On the 26th April 2018, Dick Smith spoke in Wagga NSW about the challenges facing #aviation. In the talk, which is below for an almost 20-minute listen, calls for substantial changes to the Civil Aviation Act [CAAct], which will immediately benefit the direction of #aviation and #saveGA. Further Dick calls for the introduction of the […] Share this:The start of 2018, with the Senate Additional Estimates due on the 27th February 2018 is upon us. #casa is not off to a flying start, with outstanding answers due from the last Senate estimates, some 3-months ago. Is this another “finger-up” exercise?? Where is the #casa Board on this, as it appears to […] Share this:The article in the Mt Isa paper demonstrates only part of the problem facing #aviation in Australia. A lot of these problems have been foisted on us by an unworkable aviation rule set, price gouging by Councils [and airport “owners”], air services charges, ASIC issues, security, #casa impossible and micro management rules. The Mayor gets […] Share this:The following are a series of FOI requests made to #casa recently. The basis of the #casa response is refusal for a FOI. This is traced to the #casa legal branch and either Adam Anastasi or Jonathon Aleck involved. The FOI disclosure log has been interfered with to the point where FOI’s, legitimately made and […] Share this:The general view by the #aviation industry is that the general process of “reform” is not leading to better regulations, but to ones out of step with the rest of the world and people are walking away from the industry. The number of pilots reflects this situation. And we must not forget the Colmar […] Share this:A great cartoonist has left this mortal coil. Like Bill Leak, Tandberg had a great take on life. Share this:The #casa mantra “Safe Sky’s far All” is now “Safe Skies are Empty Skies” Question is: Can Barnaby Joyce fix this? This morning in The Australian, Dick Smith and a slew of journalists have this matter firmly in it’s sight. The articles, as these are of such importance they are produced in full below. Anthony […] Share this:#casa imposed regulations stifle #aviation in Australia is true, from meetings I have had over a period of time with training organisations. There is serious condemnation of parts 141 and 142, which follows from the debacle of part 61. Problems raised include: Slowness to process applications; Excessive costs; Intractable staff in the regulator; Intelligible “rules”; […] Share this:In what is the last hurrah for Darren Chester, there were a series of announcements as listed below. 1. Changes to #casa Board with a new member Jane McAloon and Anita Taylor reappointed. 2. Security in airports; 3. MH370 report release There are around 40 odd press releases/ month and in 4-months only three on […] Share this:This was released on 19th December 2017. A quick read shows an industry in serious trouble. From #pprune: 22nd Dec 2017, 16:40 #6 (permalink) Sunfish Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Melbourne, Australia Posts: 6,577 To understand the scale of the problem of GA -and why its stuffed, consider Australia’s GDP – an overall indicator of […] Share this:A quick look at the history of this Minister, who is in charge of aviation within his portfolio shows a Minister who last October [2016] admitted he did not understand aviation to ABC’s Fran Kelly. A Minister who excludes, with able assistance from his CEO of the regulator [#casa], key aviation industry participants from […] Share this:The recent Lord Howe Island accident was reported today in The Australian. There are now three accidents/ incident’s that can be partially attributed to poor passing on of weather to pilots and aircraft in transit and variably poor Air Traffic control and likely interference by #casa. Pelair – November 2009; Mildura – July 2013; Parallells […] Share this:The #casa annual report 2017 released in late October 2017 is interesting from the start and the letter by Jeff Boyd to the Minister. It was dated the 12/9/2017 with a copy to Mike MrDak. Problem is MrDak left Department on the 7th September 2017, some five (5) days earlier. LETTER TO THE MINISTER CHAIR […] Share this:Another plane crash here. Annual report from #casa #casa show a loss of $5.4m for 2016 and a profit of $6,9m in 2017 with reduction in costs. Still reporting over 31000 pilots when around 18500 active medicals. Major discrepancy here. A full analysis to follow .Annual_report 2016 – 2017
[…] Share this:The latest by #casa is to call for assistance from the #aviation industry to assist it in the “Regulatory reform Process”. Good in principle, but in fact it is about time the Minister took notice in this to stop the nonsense. A history of direction of this process is seen in a recent article calling […] Share this:In today’s Australian [see below], #casa is trying to give an indication of a “…caring regulator…”. Not the case at all and a couple of posts today in social media lay completely the opposite view. That of a malevolent and vicious regulator. What a crock. Carmody is personally “head hunting” people who disagree with him. […] Share this:In the #casa monthly missive – September 2017, Carmody tries to say he is “….re-setting the way CASA consults and engag(es)ing with the aviation community. …” Well this is the CEO who in fact still is not doing that. AOPA-AUS excluded a chair in ASAP; [Carmody says”……is drawn from representative groups…” – NOT True No […] Share this:Is there another way? Not long after Trump became US President, he made an instruction to the FAA for every new regulation, to remove two regulations.

Airspace Changes by Airservices- E
Class E was an early introduction between Melbourne and Mildura, with a lower limit of 7500FT. A clear and concise usage.
AirServices [ASA] new changes are a mish-mash of levels, requiring significant pilot inputs.
The proposal, by ASA uses AGL [Above Ground Level], not the universally accepted AMSL [Above Mean Sea Level].
There is no […]
