    Hello Ian, The maintenance side of things is micro managed as well. The L1 was simply an embarrassment, fancy doing a test on a computer screen -- that only proves people can read. What about nuts and bolts then there is lock wiring how can someone learn about those without some practical training. Tension wrench, glass repairs, rivets and aluminium, tyre changing just to name a few. Takes all day to get through the subjects in basic maintenance, this is a basic maintenance of which I am involved with its delivering. I had a look at the RAAus L1 and to me it is an embarrassment all from as office in Canberra no infield tutoring, refused to do it. KP

    Take into consideration pilot hours and aircraft hours. As the financial situation is a bit grim pilot and aircraft hours could be way down. KP

    Regarding the Flight Training School Safety Manual. Is it a one size fits all or has it got provision for specific school situation? Looks like no provision for culture development which is incorporating systems and processes. Most likely plain simple cloning. As it all progresses we will see. KP

    If that is the case would The Tech. Manager be the owner of that particular MARAP? Put in simplistic terms he gets a royalty every time it is used? BUT---when the MARAP was developed was the Tech Manager an employee or consultant? BUT---If he was an employee RAAus own it and RAAus will need another trained employee to administer the process. There will be quirks involved and let the experts unravel them. KP

    That was a notice sent out Friday 07/09/18 from the RAAus office. It is information covering staffing updates. KP

    So why all the secrecy and it has arrived at this. Only a consultant now. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder why, what and how and all the other myriad of excuses. Only unanswered questions. KP

    Think they had to surrender the trade mark as there were looming legal implications. So the line of listening to members would not be that relevant. KP

    I do not know he is getting the last laugh.. He is getting some criticism, still. KP

    AND we got told by Don Ramsay (pre. voting) the company structure is the way to go and we will not know the difference. News for Don we are getting to know nothing. KP.

    Frank if that is true that DB is back on the RAAus payroll, the show is brimming full of hypocrisy. What a joke. KP

    At the Bundaberg when they held the AGM the practical section was to be rolled out in the next month or so.. actually the size of the so was not mentioned. KP

    Turbo it has been going through Parliament for the last humpteen years, last estimate was June next year. March 2016 was it first promised date so there have been extensions ever since. So do not hold your breath. KP

    The councils are not smart. The bean counters get to and have a look at the statistics of how many aircraft land there and multiply a proposed landing fee and that is the total revenue...BUT....When all the costings and collecting process is put in place only half the planes turn up, their revenue scheme has fallen apart. The same when water meters were implemented they knew much water was being used. KP..

    I see Don Ramsay was bragging how good the communication is. We had to wait for social Edina to tell us *Freedon to Fly, fiasco. *Barnfield going to CASA then staying for a couple of smokes then leaving. Just wonder will RAAus take home back? What I suspicious of, were they keeping it a secret, so Barnfield could go and have a look at the CASA then return to the fold and no one would be wiser.?? KP.

    Just wonder did RAAus board leave the door open for him to come home after he did not like the real world? Anything is possible down there..

    What is very interesting in your comment -- is when one writes those manuals it is so surprising how real thoughts leak through with the used of words. What I have found -- how aggression shows trough stand out like one never knows what, so it most likely will be there. KP

    In my case the LAME is out of the equation. The C150 needs the annual/100hr that is a LAME exercise. KP
  18. Keith Page
    The C150 will be a lot dearer to own and maintain than the Jab. KP

    Turbo in this case I think "normally" will be found somewhere else. KP

    Yes Part149 has been published however it is good as useless needs a Manual of Standards go hand in hand with it. So what is the use of the stand alone Part149? To me it is a CASA look at me, we are doing good things to reform. If they were fair dinkum they would have Part 103 brought in at the same time. KP.
  21. Keith Page
    Why CASA only gets active when the pressure is right on them and aviation is on its knees, now the smart thing would have been start all these things years ago when the faltering started. Example Part 149.. A manual of standards is being developed and will be available in the second half of 2018 -- well do not hold your breath been around for 4 years to my knowledge, it has always been gunna and the next six months has been the answer. For Part 149 to operate effectively Part 103 will have to be brought in simultaneously. I just can not work out why all the stalling. KP.

    Yes he was set up.. How would you answer that question when you all of a sudden discovered you were set up in the middle of an enquiry. Skidmore was a decent person because he did go and find things out for him self did not accept all advice. I think there was a bit of skin and hair flying after that question time, and he put it to those above him what should be done and they did not get interested so he decided he was wasting his time. Look who the minister was -- he and his mob were more interested in Latte's. KP
  23. Keith Page
    facthunter have a good read of DAS01/2015.. To me -- that is why Skidmore was moved a few would have had some tough questions to answer, he was turning the heat up on the CASA structure. Just as he lit the heaters he was gone and all was back to what it was, none of the recommendations in DAS 01/2015 were addressed. Who would lean on him to leave would not have a clue. KP.
  24. Keith Page
    Turbo -- that DAS directive was signed off by Skidmore in 2016 nothing has been done since 2015. Who has been keeping quiet about that one? 2018 now. KP
  25. Keith Page
    Might be a bit hard to buzz when one is over loaded with regulation and paper work. AND there are more regulations on the way. So what hope has it.. Even there are road blocks for Part149.. Just mention Part103 they shudder. Part149 and Part103 should be brought into being simultaneously. To have Part149 working without Part103 will be a bit of a dogs breakfast. KP
