Steve makes some valid comments on the Skidmore lecture. [see below]
But Skidmore is not talking about the #casa that most of us are still seeing, as it is distinctly “Rule-by-Law”, not “Rule-of-Law”. Many of the pilot community have their eyes glaze over about now, but it essential that we see this situation for what […]
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 […]
On Saturday, Mr. Truss was at the Brisbane LNP Annual Conference, where these was a testimonial dinner given. Truss has overseen one of the most devastating falls in aviation small business across Australia.
This is not something to be proud of at all.
In fact, Truss supported McCormick for an ICAO […]
There have been two very major audits if #aviation performance in Australia.
FAA/ICAO in 2008 Colmar Brunton [#colmarbrunton] in 2014 – 2016 CASA_stakeholder_relation_Action_Plan-20164 The 2016 report, reflects the desperate nature of relationships of the aviation participants and the regulator [#casa].
The 2008 FAA/ ICAO audit certainly showed this was the case and the regulator was […]
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.
I attach the letter that Aviation Advertiser sent to the relevant Ministers. It deserves a read of it’s content against the direction aviation must take.
The move by #casa and it’s CEO to abandon his membership of #aopa should be seen for what it is – a massive dummy spit when he did not get […]
Battle looms with #casa over proper reform and #ozaviation regulation
The need for proper reform in #ozaviation cannot be more in focus than at present.
14th April 2016 deadline by Dick Smith for a Federal Court action; 17th April 2016 for the meeting with Marc de Stoop with Minister Chester; 17th April 2016 for a […]
#casa ceo Mark Skidmore resigns as an #aopa member
A letter to support the 16th April meeting with Minister Paul Fletcher, has #casa CEO, Mark Skidmore resigning form #aopa Australia.
The meeting is to finally place undeniable evidence before the Minister as to how #casa has failed to properly use good governance within the aviation […]
The latest by Skidmore and follows the Mildura and Townsville events. Moorabbin to follow.

On 12th September 2015, I wrote to Minister Jamie Briggs, given his capacity in small business administration, and finally got a reply today – not from Minister Briggs, but from Warren Truss’s office:
What a huge crock.
Not in one place does the Minister answer the questions.
Jack Pantovic got his day in court, with the AAT findings published on 18th December 2015.
[Update on 25th December 2015]
A casual conversation finds Jack [Jason Pantovic in the AAT] an R22 helicopter mustering pilot based just north of Mareeba, a bloke that works long hours and in a dangerous occupation.
I went reading the #casa annual report and although #casa and Mark Skidmore trumpet how they have reached “…magic millions…” with their publications, the truth is somewhat different.
On #casa numbers, there are 35, 000 pilots [but the table below, when combined with the medicals – shown below], just do not add […]
#casa [see below] has been given authority by the Attorney General to use metadata.
For us, poor old computer non-geeks, metadata is:
Telephone numbers The time and length of phone calls The internet protocol addresses (IP addresses) of computers from which messages are received or […]
That #casa thinks they can deal with the 1800-page debacle called part 61 with the following “action”, not only is lamentable, but demonstrates a regulator out of touch with the aviation industry.
The part is so far wrong that it refers to “operators”, whereas the part is for pilot training. It uses almost In the […]
That #casa will not co-operate with the #ozaviation industry is deplorable. Dick Smith again takes the matter to the #casa Board. I have seen the results of #casa’s “…industry consultation….”, which is just telling the aviation industry, not listening, helping and moving forward with common goals.
That the new #casa CEO will not involve himself […]
September missive by #casa and goodbye Skidmore
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 […]
