Sandy Reith reminds the Senators of the history of the past 10-years, where #aviation has come under extreme pressure due to indifferent Government action and failure to manage #aviation for the future. The need for a major structural change is evident. [The letter is published below.] The #casa experiment is a dismal failure, with […]
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 […]
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.
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 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 […]
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 #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.
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
#casa circular regulations could result in a $10.5K fine
Have been on a browse through the new regulations [or parts] and Part 117 is a doosey.
Simply, if you read a part, get it wrong in #casa’s eyes, expect a $10,500 fine.
Even if you ask #casa for an interpretation, don’t expect it any time soon. I know of one case where it took […]
