Not a word on GA [General Aviation] in the summary, just the big end of town. This shows the backroom boys, such as Crawford are more interested in non-GA. No mention of the disastrous Colmar Brunton survey, or the latest internal #casa attempt to rectify the numbers. But there was a hack at sport […] Share this:The thoroughly unnecessary ASIC becomes a further impost on rural users on 1st August with major changes to how it operates, with a requirement to present with documents in person, for which there may be a charge made on the applicant.

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.

Do other #aviation Investigators direct the regulator? is a reasonable question.

#casa spends $165,000 on the Avalon airshow

The total cost of CASA’s attendance at the Avalon Airshow in 2017 was $165,000.

So in just 7-days, casa spends the equivalent of 30% […]
