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:From www.righttoknow.org.au web site, the following reply was made. It seems that there is no means supplied by #casa to track AOC changes or the information behind the AOC database. This letter is from the #casa previous head of legal, Adam Anastasi. Interesting to note that this person is now Manager Advisory and drafting Branch. […] Share this:The current bastardry of #casa continues. This time other peoples survival have been compromised. The loss of human transplant materials from New Zealand could well affect a number of recipient lives who, although through a sad passing of another human life is a tragedy, the family unselfish donation to others is lost. The comments below […] 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: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:Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England against Barnaby Joyce. Who is Ian Britza?? Ian spent time growing up in Western Australian and the African country of Malawi and moved to New South Wales at the age of 15 where he lived for 25 years. Ian was until recently member for Morley in […] 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:I have been doing some historical research on some documents lent to me by an #aviation participant. These are a bit of history, but demonstrate why Australian #aviation is in crisis. Just yesterday, the helicopter industry refused to be further bullied by #casa. Admin · 14 hrs As of today i am told from a […] Share this:We have all been looking at where the “Josh Hoch” saga has been going. This story from the Townsville Bulletin on Friday bears reading and raises a number of issues. This is particularly with regards to the 2012 to 2016 period. What questions arise: What is the basis of the fraud? How did Hoch operate […] 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. On 25th April 2015, this publication said: Red Tape reduction by CASA What an amazing article by CASA [in full below] We have spoken [the aviation industry], using an […] Share this:The Qld government seeks input on drones Here is an opportunity to put a submission in from the #aviation view point. A short viewpoint on sub-2kg drones, which seem to be the aim point of this review. As you are all aware there is a current Senate inquiry into drone due to report shortly. […] Share this: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 […] Share this: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: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: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. RAus has withdrawn from the market on the basis of onerous conditions and the […] 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:AOPA was excluded a chair in the new #casa ASAP, according to the monthly talk-fest released today. AOPA, founded in 1948 can speak for itself, without the protection of the TAAAF – The Australian Aviation Association Forum. AOPA speaks for a range of people similar to RAAus [Recreational Aviation Australia], who own and fly GA […] Share this:The training industry is almost done for in the amount of paperwork required by the regulator to operate. No more small operators in #aviation will be the result; Lose more operators from the “bush” [see the #casa release today – below] As Senator Nash said in the Senate this week, Bill Shorten when giving his […] Share this:I have to hand a refusal of a Freedom of Information request [FOI] by Minister Chester’s Department of Infrastructure. This requests the costings of the: Initial #atsb report; #casa report, not released to the #atsb; Senate Inquiry; Subsequent #asrr report by David Forsyth; Canadian ATSB report; Implementation cost by #casa; Implementation cost by #atsb The […] 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: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:RIP, the three airmen in South Australia. A timely reminder of the need for proper procedures, which I am sure the highly competent CP of RossAir would use. A look at the Western Australian example where the local CFI and CP refused to accede #casa FOI’s demands and the lengthy AAT and subsequent Court cases […] Share this: |

Is this another “finger-up” exercise??
Where is the #casa Board on this, as it appears to […]
