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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 #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.
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 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.
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 […]
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 […]
#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 […]
