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: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:Here is a puzzle for solution: A series of posts on#pprune by poster “Man-the-Lifejackets”. These are made by someone close to the matter and of course, the life-jackets were never sought by #atsb in the initial investigation by #atsb. Lot’s of doubts about how #atsb investigated the #pelair ditching, the blame apportioned, the Chambers report […] Share this:With apologies to AuntyPru, as this is a reminder as to how questions asked that lead to a similar end as the questions below never get answered by #casa. That #casa, #asa, #atsb refuse to have QON’s in on time shows the degree to which these organisations thumb their nose at proper governance by the […] 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:Senate Committee mauls #asa, with Dick Smith giving aviation a future The senators kept at #asa last night when trying to work out whether or not, #asa is competent to run a Government enterprise.

What occurred is now fortuitously explained, following McCormick’s hurried exit from #casa in 2014. It certainly was not important enough in 2014 and before, for McCormick to draw the attention of the aviation industry to this dangerous and extremely poor situation […] Share this:#ASA now refusing to answer questions by The Australian Questions, which are a proper part of the transference of information and cooperation that should exist in aviation. This cooperation must exist in order that a joint improvement is made to aviation, rather than one-sided approaches. The Airservices media unit refused to provide any information or […] Share this:VIPA has more to say in escalating war between users and providers The escalating row is continuing between #ASA and user groups, with the Virgin Pilot’s group the latest to weigh into the argument. VIPA [Virgin Independent Pilots Association], mounted a very carefully worded submission to David Forsyth’s ASRR, which was followed by support for […] Share this:Airservices [#ASA] Angus Houston fires up “a discrepancy” The blame game continues, when the “Quango’s” do not want to be caught out in what they say and what gives a truly effective and ultimately safe outcome for aviation. The recent articles in the Australian take us to the long-term concerns of Dick Smith, which in […] Share this:AOPA has new President and meets Skidmore AOPA Australia hosted a talk-fest with Mark Skidmore, CASA CEO as one of the speakers. Attendees included longtime members Dick Smith and Bill Hamilton. They were disappointed by the presentation as Skidmore said “…part 61 as presented by CASA is the leading part 61 exposition in the world […] Share this:#PelAir Inquiry Re-opened 18th February 2015 This occurred on 18th February 2015 and is alongside the Supreme Court finding for Karen Casey.

The effect of Parliament supporting was is showing up as a corrupt […] Share this:The Karen Casey story by FourCorners and ABC: This is a follow up to the September 2012 expose of the #pelair ditching off Norfolk Island that occurred in November 2009.The original inquiry has become one with serious deficiencies, to the point it has become shelfware and a new investigation ordered and re-commenced. It is a […] Share this:Connections of senior public servants and their masters I pose the following for thought: Martin Dolan got job at ATSB, despite having no more experience with aviation than “managing” the sale/ leasing of the secondary airports [Moorabbin, Bankstown, Camden, Archerfield, Jandakot]; Dolan undertook the work at the old Department of Transport [now Infrastructure under Mike […] Share this:PelAir Investigation re-opened: The pressure from the Senate inquiry, the Canadian TSB [summarised by Paul Phelan] has resulted in the re-opening of ATSB process [outlined below]. The Senate estimates of Tuesday 24th February 2015 reveal that the re-investigation will only involve ATSB personnel. Heavy questioning by Senator Xenophon went to why only ATSB […] Share this:Sad news of the death of Bernie Currall Bernie Currall died on Friday 27th February 2015, just as a new investigation into the PelAir debacle has been restarted. The process, which has been sought by those on the ill-fated flight from Samoa to Melbourne in a long wished result of the 2012 Senate Inquiry and […] Share this:CASA and a presumption of innocence?? Quadrio six years later The article by Nicola Berkovic [below] bears some careful thought, not just as to “hate” issues, but in the normal running of government. The statement below attributed to Tim Wilson should be viewed in the light of what CASA has been doing in cases […] Share this:#MH370 – Current ATSB activity In the Australian Senate on 24th February 2015, there was a major update, with the transcript and actual hearing visuals below: Page 156 Senate Tuesday, 24 February 2015 RURAL AND REGIONAL AFFAIRS AND TRANSPORT LEGISLATION COMMITTEE Senator BACK: Mr Foley, can you just give us a very brief update on […] Share this:Senate Estimates and CASA/ Air Services/ MrDak The 24th February 2015 senate estimates and hearings proved interesting last night. The senators certainly were not happy with a number of people, including the Head of Department, MrDak, CEO Airservices [ASA] Ms Staib and a number of others in answering or avoiding answering questions. The corruption […] Share this:What was behind the #PelAir accident?? Karen Casey and David Helm are the human faces behind the PelAir ditching, where all six occupants of the Westwind jet on that dark 2009 November evening, ended up in the 2.5metres seas surrounding Norfolk Island.
