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 […]
McCormick arises again, to protect his position, when in #casa. 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 […]
#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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Minister Truss demonstrates lack of aviation knowledge
The disallowance motion on Part 145 is to be commended and is just the first part of the process to rid the industry of improper regulations and show the proper power of the Parliament/ Senate.
The effect of Parliament supporting was is showing up as a corrupt […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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. All the occupants, were “lucky” to be found by the observant Norfolk Island […]
man-the-lifejackets
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 […]
