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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 #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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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”.
Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake
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 […]
