Reading through the #colmarbrunton report shows the degree to which #casa has no commitment to a “…better way..”. The better way, does not include any new options as the attached table from the report shows. See below. The key to the #casa approach is “…Industry to comply with regulations and aspire to safety best […] Share this:Audit Office report into ASA #Airservices proves misfeasance, due to the #OneSky purchasing and assessment procedure. This misfeasance should be placed squarely at the feet of Michael MrDak, Head of Department for failing to institute proper procedures to ensure his satellite organisations: CASA; AirSerices; ATSB; etc were compliant with proper procedures. Mrdak should resign now, […] Share this:Bankstown airport for sale?? September 2015 There are some problems with this, not withstanding the issue of the use for aviation. Airports in Australia; Airports Bankstown- It’s “future” – Aviation must prevail; History of Bankstown and objections to lease/ sale Bankstown Airport – What is the legal position?? Cost of CASA moving from Bankstown […] Share this:ASRR review – status?? The ASRR has now been in place since mid-2014, with some 37 prime matters [45 total matters identified by the Forsyth review] directed to be attended to] which are listed below. It should be remembered that the ASRR largely came about as a result of the PelAir Senate inquiry and there […] Share this:Arguments on Avgas levy in pprune – the levy still exists, although is was directed to finish on 30th June 2013 by Treasurer Wayne Swan. The levy is still in the May 2014 budget, and Swan never removed, nor did the Department [MrDak] or CASA [McCormick] ensure that either Swan or Hockey knew that […] Share this:
Skidmore finds his way to the CASA web page – eventually!! Clicked on the “CASA Director” tab this afternoon [19th January 2015] and all I found was: The Page [NoSuchPage] is not defined in this application, please check the URL. Then a few minutes later get the BIO shown below. Question here is: […] Share this:What is hidden in the Bankstown Master Plan?? Is this the basis to result in the death of GA at Bankstown and the conversion of Bankstown to a “…housing development…”. Is this consistent to the original agreement to the “…lease…” of the secondary airports?? The Archerfield debacle is a case in point. Senator Fawcett […] Share this:Interest in the Senate Inquiries – the score – 1, 557, 381 views and 6, 364 posts Published: 28th December 2014 The Senate AAI hearings, operating under the RRAT Committee, with the following who are members [see below], include Senators Glenn Sterle, Bill Heffernan, Nick Xenophon, Fiona Nash.

His talk as below, can be viewed here, but where has this person popped up??
[whohit]jamie[whohit] […] Share this:Canadian TSB slams the ATSB of Australia for a poor report. A read of the report, shows that the Canadian TSB consider that the report has not been undertaken with due care. Is this the case from previous senate inquiries? Answer is YES. 5th Dec 2014, 08:33 #2544 (permalink) Lookleft Join Date: Jul 2008 […] Share this: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 […] Share this:The following was a press release of Rob Rich’s. Australian nominated for ICAO Secretary General. Mr John McCormick, recent past Director of Aviation Safety, CASA, has been nominated by the Australian Government for the position of ICAO Secretary General. This was announced during the ICAO International Aviation and Environment Seminar held 28 to 30 […] Share this: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 […] Share this:Mike MrDak is a senior public servant, who was involved in the “Pink Batts” affair, as an advisor to Kevin Rudd.

Our primary […] Share this:AMROBA scores the Government on Aviation progress after 12 months since election. We all know aviation is a delicate subject, but it has been subject to three reviews in past 18-months, which all point to a failing system, yet the recently resigned DAS [McCormick] in his last gasp [monthly missive] to the industry again tries […] Share this:The Helicopter industry is dismayed at CASA forcing through Part 61, Rob Rich says in the current issue of the AHIA Journal. The full article is below. From this it is apparent, either CASA is not listening, or is determined to force through changes regardless of what industry wants, which is central to the submissions […] Share this:CASA has been very slow, which forms the basis of most complaints by industry and the serious deficiencies that have been lodged by numerous people and clearly enunciated by the ASRR [Forsyth Report] and directly to the Minister. Organisations such as the agricultural groups are particularly vocal on the CASA deficiencies – Phil Hurst is […] Share this:RURAL AFFAIRS AND TRANSPORT LEGISLATION COMMITTEE Estimates (supplementary) TUESDAY, 18 OCTOBER 2011 The Department Senator FAWCETT: Gentlemen, a number of individuals and aviation associations have criticised—in fact, some have condemned in quite strong words—both the minister and the department for their handling of the issues around commercial development on Bankstown and Archerfield airports. I would […] Share this:That the DAS [Director of Aviation Safety], John McCormick goes to this extent to deal with proper critisism, shows the Industry is in fact not being listened to in the pervasive and divisive changes CASA is making to the aviation working environment. John McCormick made comment in the February 2014 “CASA Briefing”: “I am […] Share this:Paul Tyrell raises concerns on aviations future in an article on Aviation in the current HIA magazine.

The latest call for the Government [and it’s ‘watchdog” – CASA] to get it’s act in order comes from the AWU.

________________________________________________________________________________________________ Govt failing to act on safer skies: union AAP August 07, […] Share this:The new Part 61 called unworkable by the Helicopter industry secretary, Rob Rich. The Helicopter industry has CASA called to account through the Minister. The letter to Minister Truss says in part “… Never in this time have I seen such turmoil and mistrust in the Regulator.” This brings the real problems with the industry […] Share this:This is what Geoff Boyd said when he became chair of the RAAA. Question is, can Geoff apply these continuing principles to the CASA Board job and ensure that the constituency that elected him to this position [RAAA Chair] is represented in the CASA Board situation. And will the Board put in place the ASRR […] Share this: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 […] Share this:These submissions were released today [13th June 2014] and bear some careful reading. The large number of confidential submissions [over 70 of the 269] bears witness that a large individuals and organisations are concerned about retribution on making a submission.

Top marks for: The ETA for the review was met […] Share this:The heavy lifting still has to come on this as the report still allows CASA to prevail.
