The #pelair ditching is still being “investigated”, yet we have not yet had a report released to the DIP’s [Directly Interested Parties”]. This is some 6 1/2 years later. In the case of #mildura, the three year point is about to be reached.
The flaperon discovery and the CSIRO modelling make for interesting reading, with the summary reproduced below and the Sky news report.
Of course, we still await #atsb to raise the CVR and data recorder from #pelair Norfolk Is ditching Westwind [six years later] – and #atsb was detailed to find #MH370.
The current advertised times as of 9th April 2015 are below:
Group A*: Monday, 25 May to Thursday, 28 May 2015 and, if required, Friday, 29 May 2015+

The 24th February 2015 senate estimates and hearings proved interesting last night. The senators certainly were not happy with a number of people, including the Head of Department, MrDak, CEO Airservices [ASA] Ms Staib and a number of others in answering or avoiding answering questions.
AVWEB has a couple of incicive reports in it’s pages [reproduced below] that are well worth a further read in light of the Supreme Court hearings this week [6th February 2015].
The early reports and press releases at the time, said that the six occupants escaped without injury. The Supreme Court […]

The independent report, published by Brock McKeon, has not recieved much traction yet, except by Ben Sandilands. Ben says that there are serious questions to be asked, a point that Ben has made for a lengthy period of time.
Many others have questioned the direction that the aircraft took […]
In part, Coroner said about the Supermarine accident at Gympie:
CASA
It is clear that CASA had investigated Mr O’Sullivan prior to the inquest in relation to his provision of false information for other aircraft, but […]
The following demonstrates the real underlying issue in ATSB investigations, when CASA has failed to properly surveil the operator, leading to an operational issue. Further, ATSB is not issuing the “safety factor” on the regulator. Surely, this leaves both CASA and ATSB in breach of CAAct 9A(1)
REPCON Mode Aviation Reference No. AR201400079 Date reported […]
The comment by Ben Sandilands deserves a further read.

CASA also has the following safety-related functions:
Is the aviation industry well served by it’s regulator and investigator?? in Australia.
The current review by David Forsyth [ASRR] certainly does not support this view and raises 37 recommendations as to how [and why] things should be fixed.
This is a long term direction for aviation.
The interference being run directly by the Department […]
The following is from Hansard as the reply by Albanese to the Truss ASRR release. Mr. Albanese does not “get-it”, with the concentration of the ex-minister being on local “noise”.
The industry response is instructive and the highlights below.
Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler) (09:20): Can I begin by saying that it is good to […]
Is ATSB the correct organisation to find and lead the search?
Certainly the SAR [Search and Rescue] is the responsibility of the ATSB thorough the enabling legislation. However, to look at the record of ATSB in recent times, gives another impression, with the ATSB refusing / or unwilling to lift the CVD in the relatively […]
Warren Truss announced this morning [6th August 2014] Fugro Survey was nominated, together with the Chinese and Malaysian Navy being also involved. These organisations have mapped the sea floor, which will be used in the towed sonar search. [Previous statement]
Contract is to search for and to map a located debris field.
At the PelAir inquiry, the Senate made serious warnings that any “get even” with those who gave information or submissions to the Inquiry. It seems from the Xenophon statement to the Senate today [10th June 2014] someone has breached that understanding.
A look at the submissions to the ASRR, show that a large number of people [over 31% one in three] did not want their material made public.
One can very confidently assume that these people are concerned about retribution by the regulator. This was a feature of the Senate AAI review as well, where this […]
The Carmody – #casa bastardy continues in August 2019
Australian Senate calls an inquiry into #atsb and Angel Flight. {report in The Australian}
Senator Patrick said submissions to the inquiry would be accepted and encouraged pilots and former clients of Angel Flight to do so.
