s the public servant, who I have seen “bail out” #casa, #atsb and #airservices starting to crack? At numerous senate estimates hearings, MrDak has defended the indefensible with #casa in particular being the beneficiary. When McCormick was in the CEO role, a lot of the happenings were in front of the senators and batted away […] Share this:The latest Australian Flying has a Letter-to-the-Editor which calls into doubt the way Shane Carmody is “…doing business…” It seems that “….nothing to see here…” reigns supreme and he still does not “get aviation”.
Questions being asked Shane Carmody
The Editor, Australian Flying, Dear Sir, I have this month’s copy of […] Share this:Browsing the RTK [Right-to-Know] website this afternoon I found the attached reply to a FOI request. The total cost of CASA’s attendance at the Avalon Airshow in 2017 was $165,000. I am incredulous that this could happen. Remember, Shane Carmody gets around $600,000 a year. So in just 7-days, casa spends the equivalent of 30% […] Share this:In December 2016, an aviation participant [I hold the original copy supplied to me by the person] requested a meeting with Minister Chester. The letter is attached immediately below and follows an earlier letter seeking to clarify details in a request. The earlier letter from the Minister refused to clarify those requests as seen below. […] Share this:What a crock #casa. The introduction of another panel. #casa you have: the #casa Board; GAAG group of the Minister [Chester]; The #ASRR Colmar Brunton and yet #casa, who won’t listen to these groups want yet more. Come on Mr. Chester, just punt #casa over the fence and introduce the #USFARS. Talk to David […] Share this:US Aviation moves forwards in leaps and bounds, while we are dying in Australia. The attached article from Flying Mag bears a read. Look at the direction here. This is not “safety limited” by #casa. One area directed is: “…Establishes a pilot program for Public Private Partnerships at GA Airports to attract private sector investment […] Share this:Here is an e-mail I received in answer to the recent post. Why, did CASA have the purpose built property at MB airport only to then ditch it for a City address that is totally removed from all aviation activity and has increased the travel costs and time wasted in traffic by factors of (X+Y)*n. […] Share this:Can you believe this? 8.3% yield, what about the deficit ? #casa has been in loss mode for the past few years and one must ask the question as to how #casa are spending our/their money. The article below shows the expenditure on “Aviation House” and the Brisbane headquarters. #casa losses reported and […] Share this:This is one of the worst appointments that could be made to a Government Quango. Here is the fiddler, while Rome [#aviation] burns. A person who has shown in an acting role that he is not fit for purpose. When in #casa, prior to his movement via a series of Government departments, then the Minister’s […] Share this:Senate estimates are on for a full week, with more time given to #casa, #atsb to get to the bottom of the question bucket. #pelair should be well aired and Hood of #atsb questioned. #casa should be asked questions of the missing $89.9m The wastage of money, identified by the 2017 budget, where #casa have […] Share this:#aviation in Australia requires a major re-boot to retain any semblance of ability to retain a viable industry, particularly in the regional areas. Regardless of what you think of President Trump, he has a brilliant idea to re-vitalise the US aviation industry and general over regulation in the States. And the direction from the […] Share this:Attached below is [in reverse order] the budget of #casa from 2009 to 2018. Aviation Fuel Excise: Old rate: 2.854 c/litre [Funds #casa] New rate: 3.556 c/litre [4-year increase to specifically fund #casa requirements of an increase for 4-years of 0.702 c/litre] Excise cpi adjustments on a bi-annual basis from 2014/2015. Basis of increase: […] Share this:The 2017 budget reveals money missing from earlier years, identified on this site in 2010. Parliament has a sunset clause on this levy, which has now disappeared into consolidated revenue. #casa refuse to reveal where the money has gone under a FOI request, despite the allocation [Part of FOI reply from RTK site] being for […] Share this:Reading the attached March missive shows just how disengaged #casa are from the #aviation industry. The issues that really concern us are not even canvassed eg. the #ASRR implementation. Mo monthly updates, just consign the #ASRR to the waste paper bucket, as in the #casa annual report, where no KPI’s were used to justify how […] Share this:The Ministers “direction to the #casa Board is a joke and demonstrates his complete lack of understanding for #aviation. The Statement of Expectations for the Board of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for the Period 27 March 2017 to 30 June 2019 is attached below. This statement has: Has no KPIs; No deadlines; No specifics […] Share this:Serious concerns raised by NSW Coroner into how #casa carries out it’s approvals and deals with known safety matters. Two pilots have died from this lack of regulatory control by #casa. There are #SR’s issued by #atsb that are being ignored by #casa Our sympathies go out to the Black family. HISTORY: #atsb and first […] Share this:#atsb is on the nose according to #aopa_aus, with failing to get it’s hands dirty and finish reports. Classic is #pelair with the DIP’s [Directly Interested Parties] still to get the report. After the DIP get the initial report, another 30-days is allowed for DIP replies. Then #atsb get another try, so at least until […] Share this:I was at Avalon last week and viewed the #casa castle. Achieves the prize as the largest and tallest display in the pavilion. See the pics below. I think it would nudge 12 metres high. At one stage there was a long line of people for the free cups of proper coffee being handed out […] Share this:Is this a toned down version following the previous, but no, more #adsb spin. Remember this is shifting #airservices expenditure requirements to the private sector, with few if any improvement to costs of GA in particular. Dick Smith tells us that air services are not using the adsb system because staff are not yet trained. […] Share this:This estimates should be interesting to watch. In particular, the Carmody performance – doubtless question dodging at 4.45PM. 4.45–5.15 pm 7. Civil Aviation Safety Authority 5.15–5.45 pm 8. Aviation and Airports Division 5.45–6.15 pm 9. Airservices Australia AGENDA MONDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2017 *Interstate based agencies Infrastructure and Regional Development Portfolio Department of Infrastructure and Regional […] Share this:Pilot losses mount in Australia, which puts pressure on the provision of aviation services in the “bush” in particular to very remote areas. A recent phone call to Charleville reveals there is only one charter operator west of Toowoomba. This situation extends into northern NSW as well. All is not well for #aviation and we […] Share this:2016 saw a large number of changes in #aviation, but little to give hope for the future where we can #saveGA. Some of the #aviation highlights/ lowlights are below, which lead to a very low score for the 2016 year. Over 480 #aviation people turn up to protest issues to DPM Joyce and Minister Chester […] Share this:The change of the #casa CEO from Skidmore to Carmody, who was the Deputy Director of the department, reporting to MrDak. Carmody at #casa replacing Skidmore This is a major show of strength by MrDak in the struggle to keep a lid on the #aviation industry and show that there is “…nothing […] Share this:Two years in a row and #casa were given (for four years only) an increase of around $25m per year in 2010. In the 2010 budget, some $89.9m over the next 4 years from a temporary increase in excise, which still has not been removed. Mark Skidmore and John McCormick failed on that as well […] Share this:Aviation Industry Consultative Council Membership list is below as downloaded today from the Infrastructure web site. Attached below is a note from the last meeting of the AIC in January 2016. The General Aviation Action Group [GAAG] is a sub-committee of the AICC. The GAAG is the group named by Minister Chester today (see below) […] Share this:Judith Sloane in The Australian today directs our attention to recent waste that Department’ never should allow to occur. The community deserves better. Let’s look at the regulator, #casa, who received a specific budget increase in 2010, under the Labor Party and @alboMP The levy is still in place and continues to 2016, but […] Share this:RAAA’s Higgins published the following in The Australian today. It demonstrates exactly why the #aviation industry does not like the prescriptive methods employed by #casa, nor is in favour of ratification. The areas that cause most angst in the #aviation industry are 48.1, 100.5, Parts 61, 141, 142, but there are other areas as well. […] Share this:There have been two very major audits if #aviation performance in Australia. FAA/ICAO in 2008 Colmar Brunton [#colmarbrunton] in 2014 – 2016 CASA_stakeholder_relation_Action_Plan-20164 The 2016 report, reflects the desperate nature of relationships of the aviation participants and the regulator [#casa]. The 2008 FAA/ ICAO audit certainly showed this was the case and the regulator was […] Share this:There has been no reference since September 2015 to the “..10 – commandments…” released by #casa. Industry gave a 2/10 score at the time and if we look at the current situation, there is no improvement. In fact, if you want to talk to Mr. Skidmore, there is no return on phone calss to the […] Share this: |

MrDak abandons #aviation industry
MrDak abandons #aviation industry and there were a few whimpers going on:
Judicial Inquiry for #casa becomes LNP Queensland policy
MrDak blasts away in the press – maybe in light of the press statement by the Minister below there is a reason for the vitriol
History shows the way – with previous Minister Truss failures
