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 […] 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: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: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:A great cartoonist has left this mortal coil. Like Bill Leak, Tandberg had a great take on life. Share this:The #casa mantra “Safe Sky’s far All” is now “Safe Skies are Empty Skies” Question is: Can Barnaby Joyce fix this?

There is serious condemnation of parts 141 and 142, which follows from the debacle of part 61. Problems raised include: Slowness to process applications; Excessive costs; Intractable staff in the regulator; Intelligible “rules”; […] 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 the published data, #casa show a major discrepancy in the numbers. Here we see, looking at 2011, a […] 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:This is “…casa here – we want to help you….” #casa [see below] has been given authority by the Attorney General to use metadata. For us, poor old computer non-geeks, metadata is: Telephone numbers The time and length of phone calls The internet protocol addresses (IP addresses) of computers from which messages are received or […] Share this:That there has been trouble in the #casa camp has been long known, not aided by the rumours of an inappropriate relationship between the previous #casa CEO and the incumbent ICC at the time, Elizabeth Hampton. These relationships explain to a large degree why complaints “died” when made to #casa. There are many examples, where […] Share this:Skidmore missive – September 2015 #casa Again, #casa does not get the real problems facing #ozaviation. A simple way forward is clearly shown in the #asrr terms and an ability by an individual to properly defend any alleged infraction according to a Court of law. #casa now gives an alleged “10-philosophy list”
September […] Share this:Clear call for proper change to #casa rules and application Sunfish calls well for clear changes Mr. Skidmore, not soon, but now and before more damage to #ozaviation. The recent “10-point statement of regulatory philosophy” as reproduced below, can only be called an absolute rubbish. It is compromised of a series of half-truths and mis-representations.

It is a post on 28 March, 2015 · by Richard de Crespigny · in Cabin Crew, Leadership, News, QF32 Story, Security, Training.

The letter written to #casa by #aopa queried the real cost of the RIS [Regulatory Impact statement], which Marc de Stoop has real information, wheras #casa “…believes….”.

One, which is to be deplored, was the debasement of free speech which occurred on #pprune and resulted in thread bans, vicious and un-warranted criticism by a regular ppruner – Horatio Hornblower. He removed a vindictive post, but […] Share this:Jeff Boyd, #casa Board chair points to way forward On Friday 4th September, Jeff Boyd presented a “warts and all” way forward to FNQ aviation interests in Cairns QLD. This was an interesting insight into the #casa Board’s future for aviation. Mr. Boyd was one of a number of speakers supporting a seminar sponsored by […] Share this:Question is, has #casa met this, particularly the relationship to the FAA/ ICAO audit in 2008 and now the 2013 ASRR audit. That is the big question and the #casa corporate plan and it’s KPI’s, which do not have a metric to give them credibility and usefulness when measured against the #asrr recommendations.

I […] Share this:Reminder from May 2012 of #casa misfeasance and the senate This post [recovered from #pprune and the answer should be remembered the next time that Skidmore fronts the Senate and answers the wash-up from the #atsb inquiry and McCormick’s answer below.
