US Aviation moves forwards in leaps and bounds, while we are dying in Australia. The attached article from Flying Mag bears a read. Look at the direction here. This is not “safety limited” by #casa. One area directed is: “…Establishes a pilot program for Public Private Partnerships at GA Airports to attract private sector investment […] 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: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:#aviation in Australia requires a major re-boot to retain any semblance of ability to retain a viable industry, particularly in the regional areas. Regardless of what you think of President Trump, he has a brilliant idea to re-vitalise the US aviation industry and general over regulation in the States. And the direction from the […] Share this:Attached below is [in reverse order] the budget of #casa from 2009 to 2018. Aviation Fuel Excise: Old rate: 2.854 c/litre [Funds #casa] New rate: 3.556 c/litre [4-year increase to specifically fund #casa requirements of an increase for 4-years of 0.702 c/litre] Excise cpi adjustments on a bi-annual basis from 2014/2015. Basis of increase: […] Share this:The 2017 budget reveals money missing from earlier years, identified on this site in 2010. Parliament has a sunset clause on this levy, which has now disappeared into consolidated revenue. #casa refuse to reveal where the money has gone under a FOI request, despite the allocation [Part of FOI reply from RTK site] being for […] Share this:Reading the attached March missive shows just how disengaged #casa are from the #aviation industry. The issues that really concern us are not even canvassed eg. the #ASRR implementation. Mo monthly updates, just consign the #ASRR to the waste paper bucket, as in the #casa annual report, where no KPI’s were used to justify how […] Share this:#atsb preliminary report into B200 Essendon crash released today. SMH report below. A lot of work yet to determine the causal links in this accident. Earlier reprot on Essendon accident March 29 2017 – 3:37PM No engine failure on Essendon crash plane before impact: investigators Tom Cowie Both engines on a light plane […] Share this:The Ministers “direction to the #casa Board is a joke and demonstrates his complete lack of understanding for #aviation. The Statement of Expectations for the Board of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for the Period 27 March 2017 to 30 June 2019 is attached below. This statement has: Has no KPIs; No deadlines; No specifics […] Share this:Is this a toned down version following the previous, but no, more #adsb spin. Remember this is shifting #airservices expenditure requirements to the private sector, with few if any improvement to costs of GA in particular. Dick Smith tells us that air services are not using the adsb system because staff are not yet trained. […] Share this:This estimates should be interesting to watch. In particular, the Carmody performance – doubtless question dodging at 4.45PM. 4.45–5.15 pm 7. Civil Aviation Safety Authority 5.15–5.45 pm 8. Aviation and Airports Division 5.45–6.15 pm 9. Airservices Australia AGENDA MONDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2017 *Interstate based agencies Infrastructure and Regional Development Portfolio Department of Infrastructure and Regional […] Share this:Pilot losses mount in Australia, which puts pressure on the provision of aviation services in the “bush” in particular to very remote areas. A recent phone call to Charleville reveals there is only one charter operator west of Toowoomba. This situation extends into northern NSW as well. All is not well for #aviation and we […] 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: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:Two years in a row and #casa were given (for four years only) an increase of around $25m per year in 2010. In the 2010 budget, some $89.9m over the next 4 years from a temporary increase in excise, which still has not been removed. Mark Skidmore and John McCormick failed on that as well […] Share this:Have been on a short destiny with the FLU fairies of recent weeks! Sunbird Seeker: BUT given that found that the Seabird Seeker has achieved FAA Part 23 Normal Category Certified, Available for Commercial Operations. The sad part is manufacture will be by Erickson Aircrane in the US, not at Harvey Bay. The new owners […] Share this:In 2012, the issue of casa and economic control of the aircraft industry was raised. Much of the concern, which was exposed by the Forsyth review [#asrr] completed by May 2013, which demonstrated that the regulator was not at all respected by the Australian aviation community. The lack of trust continues today, as the new […] 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:#casa loses the plot on the proposed CAAP I would have thought that “compulsory sworn statements” (coroner’s report, and the following comment) are more likely, and correctly, within the purview of properly convened court proceedings. For the record [Thanks auntypru.com] the only publicly available document from the Kathryn Sheppard inquest was the Coroner’s recommendations: […] Share this:RAAA support opening up competition to #asa There is a growing noise of the problems of #asa. This situation has followed the Senate expose on 18th August 2015. The RAAA [see below] gives a further push to serious changes to management of Australian airspace. The RAAA fully supports Maurice Newman, the federal government’s most senior […] 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:More pain for Australian aviation with release of #casa corporate plan. and what of the full relationship with the ASRR report?? Does not match up at all. A plan signed off by Alan Hawkes, with no proper direction to the industry as to proper interaction. There is no committment for the new Board that […] Share this:Pressure mounts on #asa with poor operating procedures and what of #atsb?? involvement, much less #casa That #asa cannot get anything right is no surprise, but that the matters are becoming public is a real change. The Senators certainly on the 18th August 2015 have serious reservations as to how this “..public body…” is […] Share this:Dick Smith exposes correspondence with #casa The truth behind correspondence between operators and #casa is evident from this foray into “snail-mail” by Dick Smith. All operators, pilots and owners have had correspondence like this, where Boyd “….thanks Dick…..”: Your assistance in helping to share this message is greatly appreciated, along with CASA’s thanks to everyone […] Share this:#casa, the regulations and waste of taxpayer dollars The aviation community has been strongly resisting the improper use of the regulatory reform process, which is to the point of almost regulating #GA, #ozaviation out of existence. The waste of money (over $250m in a 25 year period + further $89.9m 2010-2014), with what is worse, […] Share this:AirServices [#ASA] misses the point of good navigation There has been little or no consultation with GA on the removal of NDB’s, which are securely attached to a concrete block, the ground and cannot move. The NDB is the basic building block of good navigation and must be retained. Dick Smith has been advocating these […] Share this:AirServices – #ASA CEO gone The CEO has been under extreme pressure for the past month and the announcement today signals that the “flak” was too great. I witnessed Ms Staib being grilled by the Senate estimates committee and in the harsh light of day and who was not faring well at all. There have […] Share this:Dick Smith nails #CASA industry “embuggerance” That #CASA is causing the aviation industry serious excess costs due to a misplaced regulatory change is well known by the industry. The David Forsyth #ASRR inquiry certainly focused on where #CASA and #ATSB were going wrong in his report and that there needed to be major changes. In […] Share this:Air-services union #ASA seek to reduce safety concerns of Dick Smith The improvement of basic safety does not seem to be in the realm of the #ASA union – CivilAir. That the union has this type of view does not auger well for future relationships, particularly when the attitude over ADS-B is brought into the […] Share this: |
