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 […] 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: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….”.

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:Coglan strikes again – The #casa witness in Quadrio affair, who gave, on his own statement, false statements about John Quadrio. A similar situation occurred with Jack Pantovic last December 2015, when accusations were made that led to an AAT hearing in Cairns. John lost his flying licence on this basis and #casa has […] Share this:Finally an “official” update by #atsb on the new #pelair report. It has not yet been given to the directly interested parties (DIP’s). That the #pelair debacle, created by #casa and #atsb separately and in concert, is deplorable and shows the contempt for those involved. November 2009 was the date of the ditching and we […] 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:Steve makes some valid comments on the Skidmore lecture. [see below] But Skidmore is not talking about the #casa that most of us are still seeing, as it is distinctly “Rule-by-Law”, not “Rule-of-Law”. Many of the pilot community have their eyes glaze over about now, but it essential that we see this situation for what […] Share this:Reading through the #colmarbrunton report shows the degree to which #casa has no commitment to a “…better way..”. The better way, does not include any new options as the attached table from the report shows. See below. The key to the #casa approach is “…Industry to comply with regulations and aspire to safety best […] Share this:A surprise announcement was made overnight by #casa, with Shane Carmody the Department’s Deputy Director being placed in the #skidmore seat. The question must be raised: Why Jonathon Aleck was not given the task; What really happened in Fort Fumble with the #skidmore resignation; Has the Minister got his hand in this?; How long will […] Share this:Audit Office report into ASA #Airservices proves misfeasance, due to the #OneSky purchasing and assessment procedure. This misfeasance should be placed squarely at the feet of Michael MrDak, Head of Department for failing to institute proper procedures to ensure his satellite organisations: CASA; AirSerices; ATSB; etc were compliant with proper procedures. Mrdak should resign now, […] Share this:Minister Truss and Aviation On Saturday, Mr. Truss was at the Brisbane LNP Annual Conference, where these was a testimonial dinner given. Truss has overseen one of the most devastating falls in aviation small business across Australia. This is not something to be proud of at all. In fact, Truss supported McCormick for an ICAO […] Share this:The successful meeting in Tamworth on 6th May 2016 is to continue with a high level meeting with DPM Barnaby Joyce and Minister Chester in Canberra on 24th May 2016.

Breaking News May 6, Meet the Nationals […] Share this:It has been a rocky road for #casa and in the mins of some, a very good thing that industry is taking the lead and saying “….enough is enough…” Project Eureka says it all.
