 | Assistance to the Aviation IndustryInvolving problems with the Regulator | |

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:
This is an issue that affects every pilot in Australia. Although it is a perpetual licence, without a valid medical – A pilot is not a pilot. That #casa went to a discussion paper is a bit of a change, but as is the normative #casa way, the numbers became misrepresented by #casa as […] Share this:The following article is from AOPA Pilot – US Volume 60 of April 2017 and shows the real progress made by a positive approach to medical reform, with thanks to AOPA -US of which I am a member. Will we have the same in Australian #aviation ? aopa-us medical changes 2017 […] 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:That Karen Casey has waited for so long is a disgrace – 7 years and 7 months. That the insurance company tried to stop payments and Limit a payout to the Chicago convention is a disgrace. That #casa hid a crucial report from #atsb – the Roger Chambers report That #atsb failed to properly investigate […] 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:It really surprises me that a recent FOI on the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development showed [see below] that there is no oversight and cross checking as to communications between #casa and DIRD. To go to the history of FOI’s and #casa, there is an interesting post made in 2012, which says, in part, […] 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:#atsb preliminary report into B200 Essendon crash released today. SMH report below. A lot of work yet to determine the causal links in this accident. Earlier reprot on Essendon accident March 29 2017 – 3:37PM No engine failure on Essendon crash plane before impact: investigators Tom Cowie Both engines on a light plane […] Share this:
Do other #aviation Investigators direct the regulator? is a reasonable question. This is particularly after the REX loss of propeller incident last week and the #Mildura incident – almost four years ago [when two 737 aircraft ended up at Mildura due to incorrect data being fed to the weather provider and the lack of information […] 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: |

No progress Mr. Chester at since 1999 at what cost??
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.
