 | Assistance to the Aviation IndustryInvolving problems with the Regulator | |
|
In the past 10 years there have been huge changes in the #aviation industry. Most are illusory and not required for a dynamic industry. Safety has not improved, despite there being top-down extremely obstructive regulations. The regulatory set, which has been in progress for 30 years is not complete and is proving to be a […] Share this:The current inquiry by the Senate follows the loss of Don Kendall in the first Angel flight crash in August 2011 and the subsequent Mt. Gambier accident. The inquiry is looking at whether or if there is a basis for the #atsb report and the findings. We note that this is not the first #atsb […] Share this:Minister McCormack has some serious work to undertake. Here are the resolutions arising from the #aviation meeting in Wagga over the past two days [see below]. There has been some well thought out ideas here, which can be boiled down into: Review of the Civil Aviation Act, to include as a minimum, a repeal of […] Share this: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….”. 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: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: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.

Make the change to the US-FAR’s “…………….. the Federal Aviation Administration of […] Share this:#AMROBA continues it’s call for proper regulation by #casa Until it gets what it wants, #AMROBA will continue this campaign, with growing support across the aviation industry. That Darren Chester, in his speech/ address, did little to endear the group in his attitude. Maybe too many “smart” advisors?? 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. In the words of a long time aviation participant: It is not CASA creeping over-regulation, is is RAMPAGING over-regulation, in complete […] Share this:#casa ceo Mark Skidmore resigns as an #aopa member A letter to support the 16th April meeting with Minister Paul Fletcher, has #casa CEO, Mark Skidmore resigning form #aopa Australia.

Reith letter to the Australian Senate
Sandy Reith reminds the Senators of the history of the past 10-years, where #aviation has come under extreme pressure due to indifferent Government action and failure to manage #aviation for the future. The need for a major structural change is evident. [The letter is published below.] The #casa experiment is a dismal failure, with […]
