On November 18th 2009, and a Westwind became a short term floating wreck at Norfolk Island.
In 3-metre seas, in a dark part of the Pacific Ocean, six individuals combined to survive a ditching as the jet had run out of fuel and despite a number of attempts to land at the Norfolk Island strip, […]
What a shocker and this man [Mark Skidmore] wants the industry to co-operate.
Examples of problems:
Damage accrues to aviation in Australia due to #casa ASRR not met by #casa More pain with #casa corporate plan Unknowing users not protected by #casa – #pelair; Pilots have no protection from a […]
The ASRR has now been in place since mid-2014, with some 37 prime matters [45 total matters identified by the Forsyth review] directed to be attended to] which are listed below.
It should be remembered that the ASRR largely came about as a result of the PelAir Senate inquiry and there […]
In 2013, Senator Xenophon raised issues of Parliamentary privilege over evidence give to the Australian Senate by #casa.
The matter is serious and although the Senate privileges committee found against the Xenophon referral, this goes to the heart of all that is wrong at #casa.
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 […]
Ministerial effect on the community – Negative impact on aviation
Good article Paul [below], although with respect it is simplistic to blame the ‘political’ class for our inability to pursue reforms. After all we are all part of the ‘class’, and for that matter it could be argued that the fourth estate should wear a […]
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 […]
At long last, a major step forward to properly start and correct the wobbly flight path of #CASA and #ASA [AirServices] has commenced as Jeff Boyd takes control of the #CASA Board and starts to give proper direction to #CASA over serious air-space issues.
Dick Smith has been appointed a Companion in the General Division of the Order of Australia.
In an interview today, when asked as to what challenges lie ahead, Dick said that aviation, which is one of his passions needed some thought and attention.
Dick Smith has a win against #CASA with “commonsense”.
Dick Smith has been calling for changes to the Air Services (#ASA) and #CASA dominance on resisting serious safety issues to RPT in #ozaviation. This has been since Dick Smith relinquished the #CASA Board chair.
Dick has called for immediate changes to airspace management, […]

Ken Cannane says in the current AMROBA newsletter, in part:
CASA has no option but to task the new Subcommittees with meeting the government’s “Red Tape Reduction” and “The Australian Guide to Regulation”. Firstly, AMROBA is fully supportive of the government’s initiative to minimise regulatory impost. If you look closely at many regulations they are […]
CASA seeks to impale new costs on the aviation industry
The application by CASA to increase costs on industry, reported by Steve Creedy on Friday 2th March 2015, is to be deplored. Simply it demonstrates that CASA cannot budget, much less regulate and operate within normal decency, showing serious issues of misfeasance in it’s relationships […]
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 […]

The Helicopter industry is dismayed at CASA forcing through Part 61, Rob Rich says in the current issue of the AHIA Journal. The full article is below.

No progress Mr. Chester at since 1999 at what cost??
I have been doing some historical research on some documents lent to me by an #aviation participant.
These are a bit of history, but demonstrate why Australian #aviation is in crisis.
Just yesterday, the helicopter industry refused to be further bullied by #casa.
