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:Jeff Boyd addresses industry in Cairns On 4th September 2015, Jeff Boyd addressed a public meeting in Cairns QLD. He addressed a series of important matters, which are critical for aviation in Australia. Article about the meeting I have attached a copy of the recording below, which is only accessible to subscribed members. There is […] Share this:“Nothing to see here” – #asa That #asa would take the view that a failure of the radar and say that the reversion to “voice seperation” is astounding. Remember #MH370, where the only remaining reliable remaining data is that provided by radar. This demonstrates that #asa has no idea about how to properly use the […] Share this:Does the #casa Corporate plan meet the #asrr review? The “Corporate Plan” that was released last week, by #casa, needs some careful and insightful review. Viewed with the #casa demand of the industry for another $25m via the “fees poor-box”, in March 2015, the Corporate Plan can only be viewed as another #casa attempt to […] Share this:September Missive released by #casa What a shocker and this man [Mark Skidmore] wants the industry to co-operate. Examples of problems: Damage accrues to aviation in Australia due to #casa ASRR not met by #casa More pain with #casa corporate plan Unknowing users not protected by #casa – #pelair; Pilots have no protection from a […] Share this:#MH370 flaperon identified The flaperon discovery and the CSIRO modelling make for interesting reading, with the summary reproduced below and the Sky news report. Of course, we still await #atsb to raise the CVR and data recorder from #pelair Norfolk Is ditching Westwind [six years later] – and #atsb was detailed to find #MH370. ___________________________________________________________________ […] Share this: |
