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: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: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. Pelair – November 2009; Mildura – July 2013; Parallells […] Share this:On the floor of the 2017 LNP [Liberal National Party] Queensland on Sunday 16th July 2016, the following motion was placed and carried “……on the show of hands….”. That this Convention of the LNP: Calls upon the Federal Coalition to review recent air crash incidents and other matters, particularly in rural areas, with a view […] 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:Manning says that the ATSB’s processes were OK, but with #pelair #atsb did not follow the processes.
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:Captain Chris Manning, who is in charge of the new #pelair inquiry – #pelair 2, in tonight’s senate #estimates says that the report is due to go to the DIP’s [Directly Involved Parties] in next 5 weeks. This is expected to take at least 60 days, rather than the usual 28 days allowed, given the […] Share this:Senate estimates are on for a full week, with more time given to #casa, #atsb to get to the bottom of the question bucket. #pelair should be well aired and Hood of #atsb questioned. #casa should be asked questions of the missing $89.9m The wastage of money, identified by the 2017 budget, where #casa have […] Share this:We must never lose sight of the matters surrounding Lockhart River. A complacent and defective regulator – #casa; A poor and incompetent investigator – #atsb; Uncovered facts from the crash; Refusal by the regulator to provide information in a fair and unfettered manner; An aircraft [VH-TFU] that was not suitable to be used as a […] Share this:
Do other #aviation Investigators direct the regulator? is a reasonable question. This is particularly after the REX loss of propeller incident last week and the #Mildura incident – almost four years ago [when two 737 aircraft ended up at Mildura due to incorrect data being fed to the weather provider and the lack of information […] Share this:The REX SAAB which lost a propeller at 00:46 UTC on a flight from YMAY to YSSY according to Flightradar24, went some 40NM north of YSSY before landing on 16R. A PAN call from a professional crew stating that the aircraft had lost a propeller and there is a diversion by ATC over inhospitable tiger […] Share this:One Nation, #aviation policy and James Ashby deserves some investigation as the industry approaches a critical point in it’s future. The numbers in the Australian Senate are critical and the way #casa has upset so many people, many of whom have become One Nation supporters, deserves quick scrutiny. Dick Smith was one of the […] Share this:The attached is the Creedy [Now mouthpiece for Air Services] version of the Truss “SafeSkies” conference in October 2013. ASRR – expected end 2013. Result: Not until well into 2014 and being dismantled by #casa Board changes: Yes and done Result: #casa is resisting requirements ICC reports to #casa Board with more resources Result: #casa […] Share this:The #pelair and #mh370 insurance have some similarities, as with the earlier Lockhart River where slow or devious payments occur with operators [and insurers] trying to limit liability. Karen Casey has been appealed in the supreme court in NSW during November 2016. No outcome until February 2017 [8 1/4 years later]. The #mh370 issue […] Share this:2016 saw a large number of changes in #aviation, but little to give hope for the future where we can #saveGA. Some of the #aviation highlights/ lowlights are below, which lead to a very low score for the 2016 year. Over 480 #aviation people turn up to protest issues to DPM Joyce and Minister Chester […] Share this:On November 18th 2009, and a Westwind became a short term floating wreck at Norfolk Island. In 3-metre seas, in a dark part of the Pacific Ocean, six individuals combined to survive a ditching as the jet had run out of fuel and despite a number of attempts to land at the Norfolk Island strip, […] Share this:I watched Sully twice since last week and the crew were outstanding in their responses and having 155 souls saved. On a cold January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 (AWE1549) Airbus A320-214 flight from La Guardia NY to Charlotte NC. From the time of the bird-strike to the decision to land in the Hudson […] Share this:In the last few weeks, since the publication of the Jabiru article in the Australian on 29th July 2016, #casa are attempting to “…pervert a reasonable safety case…” by their actions. In the case of Jabiru, Jonathon Aleck refuses to allow the removal of restrictions on Jabiru to go, saying: “Our concerns were real and […] Share this:The following are a collation of the 5th May Senate estimates with Nick Xenophon, Bill Heffernan, Glen Sterle and the Senate team on aviation. Bill’s farewell speech in the Senate:
#MH370 and #atsb:
#m370 update [Peter Foley] and Senator Heffernan’s last Estimates:
Share this:Not mine, but worth a repeat as the “Miracle on the Hudson” [#sully] demonstrated how first class work occurred. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/year-anniversary-hudson-river-plane-crash-gallery-1.1579817 This adulation was never repeated in the real work that Dominic James undertook in November 2009, when, at night, in open seas pitching above 3-metres he ditched and all “…swam away…” in the #PelAir ditching […] Share this: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: “How can two aircraft not be notified of serious changes in the weather and visibility at […] Share this:Here is a puzzle for solution: A series of posts on#pprune by poster “Man-the-Lifejackets”. These are made by someone close to the matter and of course, the life-jackets were never sought by #atsb in the initial investigation by #atsb. Lot’s of doubts about how #atsb investigated the #pelair ditching, the blame apportioned, the Chambers report […] Share this:In NSW, the ICAC [NSW’s corruption watchdog] investigations have directed at evidence gathering with the Cuneen case, which showed improper collection and clear falsification of video evidence in the collection of a phone from Cuneen. This progressed to the High Court, with serious doubts being raised about evidence gathering. The latest revelations go even further […] Share this:The #asrr report, the senate investigation, best summed up as a bungled report: http://www.crikey.com.au/2014/12/05/pel-air-crash-investigation-was-a-debacle-from-go-to-whoa/ Now a new investigation by#atsb, with aircraft to be finally raised in November 2015, following the CTSB [Canadian ATB] non-complementary report.
The 2009 Pel-Air Westwind ditching, Norfolk Island ditching or CareFlight ditching was an aircraft accident on 18 November 2009 […] Share this:The October estimates in which Senator Heffernan asks #casa, #asa, #atsb and others serious questions is on next Monday. May estimates reference. The QON, which were due in July surfaced today and are below: CASA ATSB Airservices AMSA AAA OTS Some good breakdown of estimates is here: http://auntypru.com/forum/-Senate-Estimates-2015?pid=2379#pid2379 And the other tabled documents from the […] Share this:In a recent post, there is a ranking that #casa should remember. It is a post on 28 March, 2015 · by Richard de Crespigny · in Cabin Crew, Leadership, News, QF32 Story, Security, Training. Produced here with thanks and a serious reminder as to how safe air travel is compared to other activities. Unfortunately […] Share this:#aopa’s Marc de Stoop questions #casa That Marc is asking who is making these regulations, is interesting, as is questioning the proper qualifications. Read Marc’s letter to #casa here. This is an issue that I have long had with #casa, where people are given a job on “casa requirements”, and not proper aviation qualifications. There […] Share this: |
