I have been listening since 10am this morning to the experienced aviators in Wagga today. Hopefully this will not be the result from the meeting!!. I am the eternal optimist! The programme is extensive displaying the depth of experience. The drive by the AOPA Board to this end, started by the Dick Smith Oration […] Share this:The #casa ICC [Industry Complaints Commissioner] is, from the #casa web site: CASA industry complaints commissioner The office of the industry complaints commissioner (ICC) reports directly to the CASA Board. It does not sit within CASA’s organisational structure to ensure independence and impartiality. The ICC provides members of the industry, the wider aviation community and […] Share this:Senate Estimates May 2018 – #casa answers Senator Patrick Questions The overly prescriptive methodology by #casa has been confirmed in the answer to a complaint by #casa Industry Complaints Officer, Jonathon Hanton. This prescriptive approach fails to meet industry needs [Complaint by Steve Purvinas, Secretary Australian Licenced Aircraft Engineers Association] This is the ultimate […] Share this:On the 26th April 2018, Dick Smith spoke in Wagga NSW about the challenges facing #aviation. In the talk, which is below for an almost 20-minute listen, calls for substantial changes to the Civil Aviation Act [CAAct], which will immediately benefit the direction of #aviation and #saveGA. Further Dick calls for the introduction of the […] Share this:Some, almost 50 years ago, there was a collision of the First class rail service – The Southern Aurora and a north bound freight train just south of Violet Town in Victoria. We know that in the current climate, #aviation is important, but so is transport safety. On 7th February 221969 at about 0708, […] Share this:The start of 2018, with the Senate Additional Estimates due on the 27th February 2018 is upon us. #casa is not off to a flying start, with outstanding answers due from the last Senate estimates, some 3-months ago. Is this another “finger-up” exercise?? Where is the #casa Board on this, as it appears to […] Share this:The article in the Mt Isa paper demonstrates only part of the problem facing #aviation in Australia. A lot of these problems have been foisted on us by an unworkable aviation rule set, price gouging by Councils [and airport “owners”], air services charges, ASIC issues, security, #casa impossible and micro management rules. The Mayor gets […] Share this: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: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:Aviation Minister Darren Chester fails to inform public of accident, that occurred on 10th November 2017, of a “wheels-up” landing at West Sale. Local information has the aircraft being rapidly removed from sight into a local hanger at Sale. Finally, some 34 days later, the matter is made public by The Australian. not the Minister. […] 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:William Fraser McKerrow, my great uncle, my Grandmother’s brother joined the AIF in Learmonth just outside Ballarat as a 25 year old share farmer on the 7th July 1915. He joined only 2 ½ – months after the Gallipoli invasion [AWM]. He had nearly seven years in the local light horse squadron as a sergeant […] Share this:Like the drone wars Bob the Builder is facing a fight similar to that by other #aviation users, when airport lease holders exert untold power on leaders. Goulburn, Moorabin, Mildura; Gympie spring to mind.
This article is from the Saturday, 4 Nov 2017 issue of Cairns Post Digital Print Edition. Bob’s ready to […] Share this:Is the following a sign of things to come? (Unknown source)
Proposed Civil Aviation Regulation Act Rule 1000(a). No pilot or pilots, or persons, or persons acting on the direction or suggestion or supervision of the pilot or pilots may try, or make attempt to try, to comprehend or understand any or all, in […] 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:The latest by #casa is to call for assistance from the #aviation industry to assist it in the “Regulatory reform Process”. Good in principle, but in fact it is about time the Minister took notice in this to stop the nonsense. A history of direction of this process is seen in a recent article calling […] 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 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: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: |
