The Senators appear to finally, by their own attitude, are finally “getting”, what we in #aviation already know, #casa are inherently corrupt. The hearing, when you listen to the #casa response [Part -3], used an attendance register to say the the #aviation industry “…signed off…”. This is the type of attitude that the industry have […] Share this:Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Australia DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER CALLS FOR GENERAL AVIATION CONSENSUS ON UPDATE TO THE CIVIL AVIATION ACT. AOPA Australia President, Marc De Stoop, and Executive Director, Benjamin Morgan, and AMROBA Executive Director, Ken Cannane, today met with Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack to discuss our support for changes to the […] 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 article in the Mt Isa paper demonstrates only part of the problem facing #aviation in Australia. A lot of these problems have been foisted on us by an unworkable aviation rule set, price gouging by Councils [and airport “owners”], air services charges, ASIC issues, security, #casa impossible and micro management rules. The Mayor gets […] 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:These guy’s are rumoured to come from Townsville!! TWO GOVERNMENT MAINTENANCE GUYS Ray and Al, two Government maintenance guys, were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A woman walked by and asked what they were doing. “We’re supposed to find the height of the flagpole”, said Al, “But we don’t have a […] Share this:A great cartoonist has left this mortal coil. Like Bill Leak, Tandberg had a great take on life. Share this:In what is the last hurrah for Darren Chester, there were a series of announcements as listed below. 1. Changes to #casa Board with a new member Jane McAloon and Anita Taylor reappointed. 2. Security in airports; 3. MH370 report release There are around 40 odd press releases/ month and in 4-months only three on […] Share this:This was released on 19th December 2017. A quick read shows an industry in serious trouble. From #pprune: 22nd Dec 2017, 16:40 #6 (permalink) Sunfish Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Melbourne, Australia Posts: 6,577 To understand the scale of the problem of GA -and why its stuffed, consider Australia’s GDP – an overall indicator of […] Share this:A quick look at the history of this Minister, who is in charge of aviation within his portfolio shows a Minister who last October [2016] admitted he did not understand aviation to ABC’s Fran Kelly. A Minister who excludes, with able assistance from his CEO of the regulator [#casa], key aviation industry participants from […] Share this:The #casa annual report 2017 released in late October 2017 is interesting from the start and the letter by Jeff Boyd to the Minister. It was dated the 12/9/2017 with a copy to Mike MrDak. Problem is MrDak left Department on the 7th September 2017, some five (5) days earlier. LETTER TO THE MINISTER CHAIR […] Share this:Another plane crash here. Annual report from #casa #casa show a loss of $5.4m for 2016 and a profit of $6,9m in 2017 with reduction in costs. Still reporting over 31000 pilots when around 18500 active medicals. Major discrepancy here. A full analysis to follow .Annual_report 2016 – 2017
[…] Share this:The latest by #casa is to call for assistance from the #aviation industry to assist it in the “Regulatory reform Process”. Good in principle, but in fact it is about time the Minister took notice in this to stop the nonsense. A history of direction of this process is seen in a recent article calling […] 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. Admin · 14 hrs As of today i am told from a […] Share this:In today’s Australian [see below], #casa is trying to give an indication of a “…caring regulator…”. Not the case at all and a couple of posts today in social media lay completely the opposite view. That of a malevolent and vicious regulator. What a crock. Carmody is personally “head hunting” people who disagree with him. […] Share this:In the #casa monthly missive – September 2017, Carmody tries to say he is “….re-setting the way CASA consults and engag(es)ing with the aviation community. …” Well this is the CEO who in fact still is not doing that. AOPA-AUS excluded a chair in ASAP; [Carmody says”……is drawn from representative groups…” – NOT True No […] Share this:Is there another way? Not long after Trump became US President, he made an instruction to the FAA for every new regulation, to remove two regulations. On 25th April 2015, this publication said: Red Tape reduction by CASA What an amazing article by CASA [in full below] We have spoken [the aviation industry], using an […] Share this:MrDak abandons #aviation industry and there were a few whimpers going on: Judicial Inquiry for #casa becomes LNP Queensland policy MrDak blasts away in the press – maybe in light of the press statement by the Minister below there is a reason for the vitriol History shows the way – with previous Minister Truss failures […] Share this:I followed through onto the #casa web site to look at the recently [July, 2017] released corporate plan. In reading the document, with it’s key section, the measurement of performance, come to the distinct conclusion that #casa must not continue as there is no measurable metric that is given. From KlipFolio, a metric, in measurement […] Share this:s the public servant, who I have seen “bail out” #casa, #atsb and #airservices starting to crack? At numerous senate estimates hearings, MrDak has defended the indefensible with #casa in particular being the beneficiary. When McCormick was in the CEO role, a lot of the happenings were in front of the senators and batted away […] Share this:The latest Australian Flying has a Letter-to-the-Editor which calls into doubt the way Shane Carmody is “…doing business…” It seems that “….nothing to see here…” reigns supreme and he still does not “get aviation”.
Questions being asked Shane Carmody
The Editor, Australian Flying, Dear Sir, I have this month’s copy […] Share this:One of the most active areas of #aviation, with no comment from CEO Carmody, but a lot of noise from Peter Gibson, who routinely gets it wrong. The Australian this morning has a report on the matter. It seems though, it is a “….water testing….” moment by the regulator. As Margaret Pagani says “……the charity […] Share this:Browsing the RTK [Right-to-Know] website this afternoon I found the attached reply to a FOI request. The total cost of CASA’s attendance at the Avalon Airshow in 2017 was $165,000. I am incredulous that this could happen. Remember, Shane Carmody gets around $600,000 a year. So in just 7-days, casa spends the equivalent of 30% […] Share this:In today’s Australian, Shane Carmody, the re-cycled former employee of #casa, talks about what has been labelled by the #aviation industry as a defective regulator. The full content is below. The same has already been attempted in the well known and respected YAFFA produced “Australian Flying”.
Let’s have a careful look at what […] Share this: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: |
