We must immediately, as an industry, maintain order and deal with the immediate challenges, which is an #aviation industry creaking to a grinding halt, particularly in regional Australia.
#aviation is vital infrastructure, which must incorporate a plan that protects airfields and landing areas from local Council onslaught and […]
The current inquiry by the Senate follows the loss of Don Kendall in the first Angel flight crash in August 2011 and the subsequent Mt. Gambier accident.
The inquiry is looking at whether or if there is a basis for the #atsb report and the findings.
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 […]
Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England against Barnaby Joyce.
Who is Ian Britza??
Ian spent time growing up in Western Australian and the African country of Malawi and moved to New South Wales at the age of 15 where he lived for 25 years.
The recent Lord Howe Island accident was reported today in The Australian.
There are now three accidents/ incident’s that can be partially attributed to poor passing on of weather to pilots and aircraft in transit and variably poor Air Traffic control and likely interference by #casa.
Pelair – November 2009; Mildura – July 2013; Parallells […]
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”.
On the floor of the 2017 LNP [Liberal National Party] Queensland on Sunday 16th July 2016, the following motion was placed and carried “……on the show of hands….”.
That this Convention of the LNP:
Calls upon the Federal Coalition to review recent air crash incidents and other matters, particularly in rural areas, with a view […]
I have to hand a refusal of a Freedom of Information request [FOI] by Minister Chester’s Department of Infrastructure.
This requests the costings of the:
Initial #atsb report; #casa report, not released to the #atsb; Senate Inquiry; Subsequent #asrr report by David Forsyth; Canadian ATSB report; Implementation cost by #casa; Implementation cost by #atsb
A timely reminder of the need for proper procedures, which I am sure the highly competent CP of RossAir would use.
A look at the Western Australian example where the local CFI and CP refused to accede #casa FOI’s demands and the lengthy AAT and subsequent Court cases […]
We must never lose sight of the matters surrounding Lockhart River.
A complacent and defective regulator – #casa; A poor and incompetent investigator – #atsb; Uncovered facts from the crash; Refusal by the regulator to provide information in a fair and unfettered manner; An aircraft [VH-TFU] that was not suitable to be used as a […]

#atsb is on the nose according to #aopa_aus, with failing to get it’s hands dirty and finish reports.
Classic is #pelair with the DIP’s [Directly Interested Parties] still to get the report. After the DIP get the initial report, another 30-days is allowed for DIP replies. Then #atsb get another try, so at least until […]
This estimates should be interesting to watch. In particular, the Carmody performance – doubtless question dodging at 4.45PM.

One Nation, #aviation policy and James Ashby deserves some investigation as the industry approaches a critical point in it’s future.
The numbers in the Australian Senate are critical and the way #casa has upset so many people, many of whom have become One Nation supporters, deserves quick scrutiny.
A couple of excellent stories in today’s Australian. These are complemented by other aspects of the affair of #mh370. The Christine Negroni story has some relevance in this, but should be evidenced by the @MikeChillit research.
The early evidence bears a good re-look as well.
The importance of insurance in this and previous accident, […]
