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:I followed through onto the #casa web site to look at the recently [July, 2017] released corporate plan. In reading the document, with it’s key section, the measurement of performance, come to the distinct conclusion that #casa must not continue as there is no measurable metric that is given. From KlipFolio, a metric, in measurement […] 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:One of the most active areas of #aviation, with no comment from CEO Carmody, but a lot of noise from Peter Gibson, who routinely gets it wrong. The Australian this morning has a report on the matter. It seems though, it is a “….water testing….” moment by the regulator. As Margaret Pagani says “……the charity […] 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:On the floor of the 2017 LNP [Liberal National Party] Queensland on Sunday 16th July 2016, the following motion was placed and carried “……on the show of hands….”. That this Convention of the LNP: Calls upon the Federal Coalition to review recent air crash incidents and other matters, particularly in rural areas, with a view […] 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:In today’s Australian, Shane Carmody, the re-cycled former employee of #casa, talks about what has been labelled by the #aviation industry as a defective regulator. The full content is below. The same has already been attempted in the well known and respected YAFFA produced “Australian Flying”.
Let’s have a careful look at what […] Share this:What a crock #casa. The introduction of another panel. #casa you have: the #casa Board; GAAG group of the Minister [Chester]; The #ASRR Colmar Brunton and yet #casa, who won’t listen to these groups want yet more. Come on Mr. Chester, just punt #casa over the fence and introduce the #USFARS. Talk to David […] 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: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:Great work Hitch, showing where GA can be headed in the future. However, we must all be vigilant the the new DAS/ #casa CEO is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. There is serious history when Carmody was in #casa before and the Senate estimates show a disparate person. If you listen carefully to Senator […] Share this:Can you believe this? 8.3% yield, what about the deficit ? #casa has been in loss mode for the past few years and one must ask the question as to how #casa are spending our/their money. The article below shows the expenditure on “Aviation House” and the Brisbane headquarters. #casa losses reported and […] 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:
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:Captain Chris Manning, who is in charge of the new #pelair inquiry – #pelair 2, in tonight’s senate #estimates says that the report is due to go to the DIP’s [Directly Involved Parties] in next 5 weeks. This is expected to take at least 60 days, rather than the usual 28 days allowed, given the […] 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: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:We must never lose sight of the matters surrounding Lockhart River. A complacent and defective regulator – #casa; A poor and incompetent investigator – #atsb; Uncovered facts from the crash; Refusal by the regulator to provide information in a fair and unfettered manner; An aircraft [VH-TFU] that was not suitable to be used as a […] 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:
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:The REX SAAB which lost a propeller at 00:46 UTC on a flight from YMAY to YSSY according to Flightradar24, went some 40NM north of YSSY before landing on 16R. A PAN call from a professional crew stating that the aircraft had lost a propeller and there is a diversion by ATC over inhospitable tiger […] Share this: |

Ministerial challenge – Revitalise #aviation by cutting red-tape
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
