BurnieM Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Zero information in the boards 'statement'. Why bother making it (apart from ongoing pressure from members).

I don't know what they could say when the information has been out for so long. I think a statement months ago would have been more appropriate.

facthunter Posted March 14 Posted March 14 SAAA aren't very Pro RAAus at any time and don't get involved with Issuing licences. Likely just be another "Rumour mill". You were worried about Your Liability as a member/ shareholder Primarily as I recall.. Nev

RAAus hierarchy were formally invited to attend SAAA Fly In, if they don’t turn up? That will be interesting.
facthunter Posted March 14 Posted March 14 While RAAus may not be that great I don't rejoice in it's Problems. It NEEDS to continue to exist IF an alternative to VH is to be maintained. Nev 1 1

There is a lot of historical bad blood 🤢 Which I find sad……. Maybe there needs to be big changes for RAA to move forward in a positive light?

The Brits too, can't see RAEngland getting off the ground. RAAus is a continuation of the AUF that was about before we had the likes of Part 103 and the Class 5 medical. 2

facthunter Posted Thursday at 10:56 PM Posted Thursday at 10:56 PM KR That's why I said "IF" BM any person aware of a matter adversely affecting aviation safety HAS to report it to CASA. by law. Nev 1
onetrack Posted Thursday at 11:18 PM Posted Thursday at 11:18 PM I believe there's only so much one can do, to stop an arrogant, overconfident pilot from killing themselves - and their pax. The outrageous and dangerous piloting behaviour of the Metroliner pilot involved in the Lockhart River disaster was reported to CASA, and CASA did absolutely nothing, as regards lifting Brett Hotchin's pilots licence. Any other "safety authority" in any other country, would have been sued to the nth degree, and the "authority" dismantled, if the Metroliner disaster happened in that country. 1

Simple; We have a unique Public Liability system; they operate under different conditions.

Of course if anyone lifts his head and contributes on the Merits of the case he might get a call to come along and help.
