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 […]
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 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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
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”.
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”.
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 […]
