JEM Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Emailled to me by CASA yesterday Dear Members of the Australian Aviation Community, On 1 September 2014, CASA implemented interim cost recovery arrangements for the pilot licensing suite of regulations covering Part 61, Part 64, Part 141 and Part 142. In order to make these cost recovery changes permanent, CASA has developed a Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (2014-15 CRIS) to facilitate the public consultation and legislative processes for the update of the Civil Aviation (Fees) Regulations 1995 with the new fees. As per the Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines, July 2014, CASA is required to seek your comments on the draft 2014-15 CRIS. Following public consultation, CASA will need to seek approval from the Government to cost recover the new pilot licencing suite of regulations covering Part 61, Part 64, Part 141 and Part 142 in order to update the Civil Aviation (Fees) Regulations 1995 with the new fees by the 31 March 2015. The 2014-15 CRIS documents CASA’s cost recovery arrangements for its aviation safety regulatory services and the cost recovered activity. It will be in place during 2014-15 and the next three years to demonstrate their consistency with the Guidelines. Certain fees and charges included in the 2014-15 CRIS include the changes as a result of the introduction of the pilot licencing suite legislation: Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 (No. 1) dated 12 December 2013 Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Flight Crew Licensing and Other Matters) Regulation 2013 dated 12 December 2013 Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Flight Crew Licensing) Regulation 2014 dated 21 August 2014 (the amended regulations), effective from 01 September 2014 All other fees and charges will remain unchanged. The draft CRIS is now available for industry review at: http://www.casa.gov.au/costrecovery. Industry members are invited to comment on the 2014-15 CRIS to the CASA Cost Recovery Team, by sending an email to [email protected] Responses should be received by COB 23 April 2015. Yours sincerely, Lloyd Petty A/g Chief Financial Officer Civil Aviation Safety Authority
ben87r Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Ive no idea what it means yet but, im pretty certain that they aren't trying to charge me less money...... Somebody needs to pay for the Part 61 that the industry demanded?
facthunter Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I don't know about that specifically but full cost recovery when they can spend as much as they see fit, and you have no control whatever in their policies or structure and efficiency, is a disaster. 'THOSE WHO PAY MUST HAVE A SAY" or no deal. Nev 2
Fly_inverted Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 So on first read thru, if you are a Flight Examiner, Flight Engineer or Part 141,142 organisation, there are new fees headed your way. And the majority of them seem to be the $/hour type. Everything else seem to be a no-change arrangement. Interesting that CASA fee amounts/rates haven't been increased since 2007. Being new to this space, i would have thought they'd be upping that stuff every year linked to CPI or inflation or something.

Nev Got to love that they intend to have in place before the responses are due back. "in order to update the Civil Aviation (Fees) Regulations 1995 with the new fees by the 31 March 2015" "Responses should be received by COB 23 April 2015" 1 2 1 1

Shows what they think of public consultation, and how much weight it carries! 1
facthunter Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Isn't that a great example of how they operate. Good spotting Chird. Nev
planesmaker Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Yes CASA 'consulting' at its best! Ask for responses then do whatever they intended to anyway, and they say 'after consultation with industry we have decided........' 1
