The general view by the #aviation industry is that the general process of “reform” is not leading to better regulations, but to ones out of step with the rest of the world and people are walking away from the industry.
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 […]
The recent Lord Howe Island accident was reported today in The Australian.
There are now three accidents/ incident’s that can be partially attributed to poor passing on of weather to pilots and aircraft in transit and variably poor Air Traffic control and likely interference by #casa.

Still no report from either #pelAir or #mildura [#atsb said at the time: “…The final report is anticipated for release to the public by June 2014.”] as to what really happened [Incident – 18th June 2013].
The question is:

#casa imposed regulations stifle #aviation in Australia
#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”; […]
