There are proposed changes to the Aviation Act, which lapsed in the last Parliament (May 2019). Senator Janet Rice [Victoria] says: “This bill has not been through sufficient scrutiny. These are very legitimate concerns and they need a robust hearing. It’s not just the Greens and the pilots. What’s the department’s justification for this […] Share this:The Senators appear to finally, by their own attitude, are finally “getting”, what we in #aviation already know, #casa are inherently corrupt. The hearing, when you listen to the #casa response [Part -3], used an attendance register to say the the #aviation industry “…signed off…”. This is the type of attitude that the industry have […] Share this:Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake. Here are the resolutions arising from the #aviation meeting in Wagga over the past two days [see below]. There has been some well thought out ideas here, which can be boiled down into: Review of the Civil Aviation Act, to include as a minimum, a repeal of […] Share this: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:Alan Jones talks to Dick Smith about flying training today [30th May 2018] Dick Smith Oration LNP policy support for immediate changes to Civil Aviation Act and review and change the regulations. In July 2015, Dick Smith made earlier comments on the #casa malaise How do I see this in 2018?? We now have […] Share this:ABC interview with AOPA’s Benjamin Morgan This is the Anne Delaney ABC interview this morning [2nd May 2018] https://soundcloud.com/abcnsw/benjamin-morgan-on-mccormack
Share this:Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Australia DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR GENERAL AVIATION CONSENSUS ON UPDATE TO THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT. AOPA Australia President, Marc De Stoop, and Executive Director, Benjamin Morgan, and AMROBA Executive Director, Ken Cannane, today met with Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack to discuss our support for changes to the […] 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: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 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. The number of pilots reflects this situation. And we must not forget the Colmar […] Share this:From www.righttoknow.org.au web site, the following reply was made. It seems that there is no means supplied by #casa to track AOC changes or the information behind the AOC database. This letter is from the #casa previous head of legal, Adam Anastasi. Interesting to note that this person is now Manager Advisory and drafting Branch. […] 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.

A Minister who excludes, with able assistance from his CEO of the regulator [#casa], key aviation industry participants from […] Share this:The Cobden Airport doomed if planners have their way, according to local airport users. Despite major upgrades which allow for night landings, better parking and facilities, the Council have not registered the airport. This is essential infrastructure and must be protected by regulation. Further, wind turbines can have serious deleterious effects on aviation. Similar issues […] Share this:Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England against Barnaby Joyce. Who is Ian Britza?? Ian spent time growing up in Western Australian and the African country of Malawi and moved to New South Wales at the age of 15 where he lived for 25 years. Ian was until recently member for Morley 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: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: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: |
