 | Assistance to the Aviation IndustryInvolving problems with the Regulator | |
|
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:What a crock #casa. The introduction of another panel. #casa you have: the #casa Board; GAAG group of the Minister [Chester]; The #ASRR Colmar Brunton and yet #casa, who won’t listen to these groups want yet more. Come on Mr. Chester, just punt #casa over the fence and introduce the #USFARS. Talk to David […] 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:Here is an e-mail I received in answer to the recent post. Why, did CASA have the purpose built property at MB airport only to then ditch it for a City address that is totally removed from all aviation activity and has increased the travel costs and time wasted in traffic by factors of (X+Y)*n. […] Share this:Can you believe this? 8.3% yield, what about the deficit ? #casa has been in loss mode for the past few years and one must ask the question as to how #casa are spending our/their money. The article below shows the expenditure on “Aviation House” and the Brisbane headquarters. #casa losses reported and […] 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:#aviation in Australia requires a major re-boot to retain any semblance of ability to retain a viable industry, particularly in the regional areas. Regardless of what you think of President Trump, he has a brilliant idea to re-vitalise the US aviation industry and general over regulation in the States. And the direction from the […] Share this:The 2017 budget reveals money missing from earlier years, identified on this site in 2010. Parliament has a sunset clause on this levy, which has now disappeared into consolidated revenue. #casa refuse to reveal where the money has gone under a FOI request, despite the allocation [Part of FOI reply from RTK site] being for […] Share this:The Ministers “direction to the #casa Board is a joke and demonstrates his complete lack of understanding for #aviation. The Statement of Expectations for the Board of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for the Period 27 March 2017 to 30 June 2019 is attached below. This statement has: Has no KPIs; No deadlines; No specifics […] Share this:I was at Avalon last week and viewed the #casa castle. Achieves the prize as the largest and tallest display in the pavilion. See the pics below. I think it would nudge 12 metres high. At one stage there was a long line of people for the free cups of proper coffee being handed out […] Share this:Is this a toned down version following the previous, but no, more #adsb spin. Remember this is shifting #airservices expenditure requirements to the private sector, with few if any improvement to costs of GA in particular. Dick Smith tells us that air services are not using the adsb system because staff are not yet trained. […] Share this: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. Dick Smith was one of the […] Share this:January missive by a/g ceo carmody What a slap in the face to #aviation. Skidmore never understood #aviation and the need to #saveGA., much less Mccormick. The current #casa Board are allowing Carmody to run riot with the assistance, as Dick Smith points out, a group of incompetents. #pelair, #colmarbrunton, Lockhart River and now the […] Share this:Serious breaches of Civil Aviation Act by Josh Hoch have been reported by a number of sources (see below). That these have gone on for such a long time unimpeded by #casa demonstrates a regulator asleep at the wheel. Queensland Police interview – no mention of #casa Hoch applied for and was granted an AOC […] Share this:The letter by Richard Harding, emeritus professor of law in today’s Australian reminds us of a series of occurrences by #casa of movement from identified criminality to code of conduct breaches. Richard Harding says: “….It should be remembered that the code of conduct cannot override the ordinary criminal law…..” Examples include that of Richard Rudd, […] Share this:The attached is the Creedy [Now mouthpiece for Air Services] version of the Truss “SafeSkies” conference in October 2013. ASRR – expected end 2013. Result: Not until well into 2014 and being dismantled by #casa Board changes: Yes and done Result: #casa is resisting requirements ICC reports to #casa Board with more resources Result: #casa […] Share this:2016 saw a large number of changes in #aviation, but little to give hope for the future where we can #saveGA. Some of the #aviation highlights/ lowlights are below, which lead to a very low score for the 2016 year. Over 480 #aviation people turn up to protest issues to DPM Joyce and Minister Chester […] Share this:Two years in a row and #casa were given (for four years only) an increase of around $25m per year in 2010. In the 2010 budget, some $89.9m over the next 4 years from a temporary increase in excise, which still has not been removed. Mark Skidmore and John McCormick failed on that as well […] Share this:The 2015- 2016 #casa annual report was released last week [w/e 28th October 2016] and although a dry publication trying to dress up an old dog is worth ploughing through the droll 236 pages. There is the usual misuse of statistics and the treatment of the #colmarbrunton report is hidden from the annual report and […] Share this:Aviation Industry Consultative Council Membership list is below as downloaded today from the Infrastructure web site. Attached below is a note from the last meeting of the AIC in January 2016. The General Aviation Action Group [GAAG] is a sub-committee of the AICC. The GAAG is the group named by Minister Chester today (see below) […] Share this:That is a serious question to be asked. The May 2013 Estimates hearing is instructive [see below for Hansard extract] and as is now known, there was a seriously improper relationship between McCormick and the ICC. This relationship did not let proper investigation of complaints move forward and as a result, there are many […] Share this:This is Skidmore’s last misssive, and …goodbye… [Remember, the missive only goes to around 7000 people and many of these only have an interest in #aviation, being on the “list”] What has Skidmore brought us? More regulation; No improvement of regs especially Part 61, which brings higher costs and no understanding improvements, despite Skidmore’s “Tiger […] Share this:Reading through the #colmarbrunton report shows the degree to which #casa has no commitment to a “…better way..”. The better way, does not include any new options as the attached table from the report shows. See below. The key to the #casa approach is “…Industry to comply with regulations and aspire to safety best […] Share this:Who is Shane Carmody, now installed as Acting CEO #casa?? In 2008, Shane Urqhart wrote a submission to the Lockhart River inquiry. He is very critical of #casa’s role in that disaster. He says in part, that he had serious concerns in the following areas: The behaviour of senior CASA officers in the RRAT Senate […] Share this:Today Skidmore resigned from #casa as ceo. Many #aviation participants will be thankful to see the end of another ineffective ceo. The following is a copy of the Ben Sandilands post today: In the last para, Ben makes the following points: Mr Skidmore leaves CASA in disarray over such festering issues as the Substandard […] Share this:In The Australian today, there is a concession by #casa as to stifling aviation. This is a long time coming and follows the May 6th 2016 meeting at Tamworth organised by #aopa and then in Canberra in the meeting where the Minister left AOPA and RAAA to an un-minuted meeting. The loss of pilot numbers […] Share this:There has been no reference since September 2015 to the “..10 – commandments…” released by #casa. Industry gave a 2/10 score at the time and if we look at the current situation, there is no improvement. In fact, if you want to talk to Mr. Skidmore, there is no return on phone calss to the […] Share this:Background reading for us, should commence with: No_Confidence in #casa – 2012 Future of Aviation August 2013 Future of Aviation August 2015 ProAviation – Senate report will shape safety investigation future Pro Aviation AND some more specific comments on recent events: Dear Ministers & Chair Boyd – from Ben Morgan Aviation Advertiser Murky Mandarin & possible dodgy deals […] Share this: |
