I am glad the paper planes I fly in my lounge room are not regulated by RAA 🤩

You will keep hearing it, scroll right past if you don’t like it. Because I see no bright light ideas from you, only kicks in the guts for things you don’t like.

Look at what it’s doing to Recreational Aviation? Increased costs, more onerous regulation, they grounded one of my aircraft on a phone call, no supporting documentation. They could not manage a kids sandpit, from phone calls I have discussions about, it’s a mess, they have shut down flying schools and owners walked away, had enough. Yes, there are some great people in the organisation, tainted by the few. But don’t worry, plans are being made by CASA if it all goes down in a heap. Sadly, that is what it may take. For me? It’s no problem, even confiscate my planes, I will go to the U.S. get my factory built Aerolite 103, go there 4 times per year for 3-4 weeks a time and fly happy, in the most enjoyable aviation sector, who’s rules fit on one A4 page. Just image getting my radio call for the biggest air show in the World ‘Jack Aerolite, you are clear to land runway, 19 please exit taxiway J and proceed to ultralight parking’ Screw Australia, I don’t need any registration or licence to fly into the biggest Airshow in the World 🤩🤩

And……if the organisation no longer exists?

Not if the whole show folds, it’s the the problem for those charged, IF found guilty?

Winner winner, chicken dinner 🤩🤩

But are Manual of Standards ready? I suspect there is paperwork not yet ready? Show me the readiness of what is planned?

And next we have to deal with RAA and the TAFE College New South Wales project for Training? When I read the communique from RAA, I felt there was many unanswered questions there.?

Right now, the legal element is that RAA withheld certain evidence from the Coroner. RAA got busted and the amount spent to date on legal costs has been some alleged $300,000. Ordinarily, the Coroner could simply have found the pilot died by misadventure of his own doing. However, when the RAA cover-up was discovered, the wheels fell off everything. now we sit and wait and see whether the DPP do anything. I am not so sure the family has any real claim but again that is by legal determination in the future.

Regardless what happens? RAA are now liable for $300,000 legal fees at this time but we have not been told the whole picture.

Big air shows will probably go the way of the dodo, like big music festivals seem to be doing

I m writing CASA and relevant MPs for suggestions to fix……

Knowing that law is not founded on logic, it’s a no go ! But WOW, I sure would get some publicity, become well known, might even get into Parliament 🤩🤩 Trump managed to make it, could be hope for me, yet 👍

The way it is, my tenure with RAA will not continue, because I have an alternative pathway to continue on, like many of us do. Being a member of an organisation, who treats Stakeholders with disdain, is not on my agenda. Aviation and anything attached to it should be enjoyable with much camaraderie, I don’t see RAA, providing that, in the future. I don’t have much life left to waste…….

As a man said to me on the phone today, you can drive your unregistered car with no license on your own land because you own it. He suggested I remove the numbers of my aircraft, and fly in my own airspace because I own it, with no registration and no pilots license🤩 I wonder how I would go in front of the beak, on that one👍👍

Special General Meetings are generally convened for the purpose of solving any concerns, The membership may have on the direction of an organisation and to work out plans, to solve any issues relating to those concerns. They are also used to plan future direction of the organisation in its future. This is not necessarily about tearing the organisation down but to correct problems within it however. I was the President of one such organisation in another hobby where people forged signatures to convene a special general meeting. Those people having personal interest in destroying the place. For me it was simple as President . I spoke to the committee and told them of my total concerns in remaining President and all of the committee and myself decide to resign in total immediately, and gave a time for that and published that time and we all walked away from the whole organisation and left them to it. Not my doing, but many other members decide to form a new organisation which I simply joined as a member and in within 2 years I I was made President of that organisation and we continued to further our activities as we wanted in the previous organisation and did so for a number of years. I was made life member of the same organisation, and in between all of us. We made it something really worthwhile so yes some good can come out of tearing organisations down for want of a better description and it’s an unfortunate thing to ever have to do, and I would never want to do it again in my lifetime.

Neglect in duty of care to Stake holders, as we are known as………

And those white ants that are still there? Should immediately be removed, in the best interests of the RAA’s future……..

Hope they lose patronidge and make even less money. IF they employ greed tactics. Maybe it time to start a ‘Do not fly to list’ Tell them, if their rules don’t exist in ERSA, they can’t be enforced. 👍

Can members call a Special General Meeting, the CEO emailed me, saying we are all Stakeholders? I am not so sure that is possible under the current constitution which I have been told was illegally changed some time ago. We can all sit on the forum and complain OR simply smile as we cop it up ther rear most facing orifice. If RAA goes down? You all get ready to just fly paper planes across your lounge room, using a pedestal fan, to generate a cross wind 👍 Those of us that can go the VH pathway can simply leave RAA, no more registrations a more friendly MARAP scheme under SAAA.

Maybe so, but that’s no excuse now for simply all the members to bend over the table and cop it. It’s time the Empire struck back NOW. Members? call to ARMs 🥷🥷

Hope the place gets black listed, and no one patronises the place 👍

Start with system run by 300,000 members under the sanction of the FAA that works. The cronyism in RAA was started by all the members who changed RAA fro being incorporated 🤢 We all slept with Fleas 👎👎

First up, the Pilots actions sadly caused his own demise. However, the people involved in this debacle within RAA, by their own silly actions have now resulted in a legal disaster, for the organisation and themselves. CASA, made a mistake by outsourcing the responsibility for managing our sector of aviation to a third-party, namely the RAA. It all looked pretty rosy until the RAA ditched incorporation and went private company and from then on it has gone simply backwards.. it should’ve been written in the original agreement that the organisation of RAA could never be changed from being incorporated. as many of the old people will tell you, the greed in RAA started from the moment became a company . Certain aspects of the constitution were changed to give people advantage, within the hierarchy. Lots of secret squirrel stuff going on behind closed doors in RAA that the members never knew about, not to mention conflicts of interest I would allege. Go back and talk to some of the old board members of the organisation, I won’t say what I know here. CASA are going to have to deal with this like it or not, and from what I know, there have been discussions with concern over the current situation. Personally, I don’t care if the perpetrators of this legal disaster all end up living in Tents, because they all knew what they were doing at the time was totally wrong and then trying to hide everything from a Coronial Inquest. it is up to the DPP if they want to proceed with legal action but also consider the legal action from the family as well, only in time will the findings be known? The RAA’s performance and a lot of things of recent times have shown me that they are not doing a very good job of promoting aviation considering the AUF days it came from. The only thing that can save the RAA now is to completely replace the whole hierarchy in the board, and start again with a fresh slate. if this is not done CASA will have to take it back over and make a battle plan for another method of overseeing our sector in Recreational Aviation. Hint CASA? Immediately adopt the FAA FAR Part 103 system from the USA and build on that.

Declare an Emergency? HAVE to land there? Probably get fined for that, too 🤢
