casa Board chair – Binskin on “Respect and Trust”

Well, read the Binskin address and weep. This address will not build trust, when comments such as: At CASA, we’re keen to see a wide-ranging, co-operative approach. Oh yeah. I rang the casa Cantberra office a few weeks ago [about 10] and it took five phone calls to get a response from the person I needed. Talked to co-operative EA’s [whatever they are!!], with lots of promises, but the people…

More flak for #casa over poor regulations

RAAA’s Higgins published the following in The Australian today. It demonstrates exactly why the #aviation industry does not like the prescriptive methods employed by #casa, nor is in favour of ratification. The areas that cause most angst in the #aviation industry are 48.1, 100.5, Parts 61, 141, 142, but there are other areas as well. In particular, the re-wording and re-direction of CAAct 9A.…

AMROBA puts CASA and Minister on Notice

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 not really needed. Many ‘practices’ do not need…

AMROBA scores the Government on Aviation progress

AMROBA scores the Government on Aviation progress after 12 months since election.

We all know aviation is a delicate subject, but it has been subject to three reviews in past 18-months, which all point to a failing system, yet the recently resigned DAS [McCormick] in his last gasp [monthly missive] to the industry again tries to justify his presence. This just gives a “head in the sand” view that…

ABC interview with AAAA’s Phil Hurst on ASRR

Finally there is some public comment on the Forsyth review. CASA still has no press release on the matter. AAAA and Phil Hurst was intervied today.

There has been some comment in Cairns on the ABC as well.

I will append it with this material when it becomes available.

AMROBA calls for proper action against CASA – ASRR, Minister Truss

The following post on pprune [AMROBA still kicking...plus TAAAF behind closed doors??]leads us to Ken Cannane and AMROBA, with more excellent directional material.

The following discussion by Ken bears some careful thought:

At the last CASA SCC Operations sub-committee, we were promised a lot more regulatory packages that are so big, they will be submitted to parliament in 2 separate bundles. Unde…
