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: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 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:A great cartoonist has left this mortal coil. Like Bill Leak, Tandberg had a great take on life. 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 #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:This was released on 19th December 2017. A quick read shows an industry in serious trouble. From #pprune: 22nd Dec 2017, 16:40 #6 (permalink) Sunfish Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Melbourne, Australia Posts: 6,577 To understand the scale of the problem of GA -and why its stuffed, consider Australia’s GDP – an overall indicator of […] 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: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: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: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: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: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: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:US Aviation moves forwards in leaps and bounds, while we are dying in Australia. The attached article from Flying Mag bears a read. Look at the direction here. This is not “safety limited” by #casa. One area directed is: “…Establishes a pilot program for Public Private Partnerships at GA Airports to attract private sector investment […] Share this:I have to hand a refusal of a Freedom of Information request [FOI] by Minister Chester’s Department of Infrastructure. This requests the costings of the: Initial #atsb report; #casa report, not released to the #atsb; Senate Inquiry; Subsequent #asrr report by David Forsyth; Canadian ATSB report; Implementation cost by #casa; Implementation cost by #atsb The […] 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: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: |

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 […]
