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 #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.
I have tracked #casa’s annual report for a several years [table collated below], particularly since when flying you notice less and less radio calls or [except for Virgin, QANTAS and Jetstar], less aircraft in the air.
In the published data, #casa show a major discrepancy in the numbers. Here we see, looking at 2011, a […]
#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 […]
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.
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.
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.
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.
The review by the Australian senate resumed, with Angus Houston being grilled by the Senators on 9th September 2015. [see below]. The previous hearing on 18th August 2015 raised some serious issues for #asa.

There are some problems with this, not withstanding the issue of the use for aviation.
Airports in Australia; Airports Bankstown- It’s “future” – Aviation must prevail; History of Bankstown and objections to lease/ sale Bankstown Airport – What is the legal position?? Cost of CASA moving from Bankstown […]
Is #casa correct or does #ozaviation have real numbers??
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….”.
AOPA Australia has been silent on a range of issues in #ozaviation, but with Marc de Stoop, is starting […]
It is 12-months since the caravan passage to Canberra and issues are still arising from the trip. 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 […]
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 […]
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.
#casa and the Show Cause Notice The following is a public discussion from #pprune, which has been “shut-down” by the #pprune moderators. But I am sure this issues needs airing, particularly at this time when internal pressures on staff are likely to result in FOI’s or AWI’s turning rogue on pilots and maintenance personnel. I […]
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.
Will Skidmore be honest??
25th May 2012, 13:33 #1 (permalink) Join Date: May […]
Wagga meeting today
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 […]
