Inquiry announced into General Aviation [#GA] Many in the #aviation industry believe that #aviation is in a terminal state, the image below demonstrating the state of the nation. Others have a more opportunistic view, but fully believe that #aviation, with the correct intervention can survive and thrive. There are numerous things that must be changed […] Share this:Who is on the committee for RRAT and responsible for the #aviation industry in Australia.

Another #casa casualty
Share this:I think this clearly says it all. We must immediately, as an industry, maintain order and deal with the immediate challenges, which is an #aviation industry creaking to a grinding halt, particularly in regional Australia. #aviation is vital infrastructure, which must incorporate a plan that protects airfields and landing areas from local Council onslaught and […] Share this:The current inquiry by the Senate follows the loss of Don Kendall in the first Angel flight crash in August 2011 and the subsequent Mt. Gambier accident. The inquiry is looking at whether or if there is a basis for the #atsb report and the findings.

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:I have recently had an update to the November 9th 2018 7:30 report interview and investigation.

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.

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.

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.

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: |

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 […]
