    And have you dealt with AVdata? A totally corrupt private organisation. No likelihood your information will be safe, much Lee's charged accurately. A landing fee is between you and the organisation charging it. If you feel like this, pay the airfield operator direct. Don't give AVdata a 30 plus percent fee.

    What a crock. #casa have not made any statistical improvement. Nor have Collar Brunton me a any attempt to contact previous people surveyed.

    If you have a look at the progression of the Medical people in Australia [Pooshan Navarthe and the current incumbents] you will see some very strange coincidences. Pooshan Navarthe Improper evidence on medical certificates

    New movement for #aviation New England by-election New England by-election Found this material today. Barnaby Joyce has a worthy adversary who is putting aviation front and centre. We should forget about politics in this and get behind the principle of what aviation needs and get it in front of as many Journo's that we can. An opportunity for change and proper publicity Ian Britza enters fray for by-election in New England

    I am astounded to find a FOI request on RTK, summarised below: #casa spends $165,000 on the Avalon airshow Not good enough for an organisation that has been crying "....poor...." to the extent that in 2010, casa went to Minister [at-the-time] Albanese for an increase in avgas/ avtur levy of $27m/ annum.

    [GALLERY=media, 3989] ca$a stand at Avalon by up-into-the-air posted Jul 19, 2017 at 2:21 PM[/GALLERY] Minister Chester fails to reply to letter, which appears to be a normal occurrence. This is just standard procedure it appears. Letter to Chester and reply that is just avoidance

    Well Carmody takes a gig at The Australian today and in a self aggrandizement of himself and how good #casa is to #aviation.

    These are sad events and condolences to the families. As mentioned, there are what appear similar occurrences with an EFATO [Engine Failure After Takeoff] over the years. The Brasillia #atsb report called for these ops to be done in a simulator. The PA30 far example, had a recent occurrence at Camden at airport elevation, yet the AFM calls for a hard deck of 3500FT AGL for these types of OPS. Also there have been some reported instances with the Metro where #casa FOI's called for stick shakers to be disengaged for the pilot to demonstrate stall recovery. This occurred in the Sydney basin and the aircraft only just managed to be recovered. In Holland, a similar exercise was at 10,000FT. The aircraft could not be recovered and span into the sea with a forward speed of around 30KTS. Flying at the insistence and at against the AFM specifications is usually fatal. . Just saying

    The new budget for 2017 has some serious defects when it comes to #casa. Failure to manage by the regulator
  13. up-into-the-air
    Then you get the use of unsubstantiated videos, such as the John Quadrio case, where a known criminal with a 7-page rap sheet, was used by #casa to "convict" John in the AAT. This video was given to the Federal Police" expert, but in a low resolution form where details such as a flock of birds in the vicinity could not be seen. The CDPP [Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions] had abandoned the case in the Federal Court and like other cases #casa kept pursuing John through the AAT with a "show cause" notice. #casa will not discuss new evidence that turned up after the lapse of a time to appeal the AAT decision.
  14. up-into-the-air
    Here is the pressure we need. #casa has missed the action and #airservices routes a SAAB without a propeller over 40 NM north of a landing point. Good reasons for a Judicial inquiry.

    Problem, with a dysfunctional organisation such as #casa, those at the coalface are often just as bad as they lack any coherent support network. Look at the Coroners report into David Black's accident and the culpability of #casa through a whole range of staffing levels. PS: The FOI's are on around $150K - Minnows at the coalface??
  16. up-into-the-air
    More spin from #casa and Carmody - #casa still has not come to terms with actual pilot numbers and quotes over 40,000. My last estimate, from #casa numbers gives < 20,000. #atsb gave an address which does not come to terms with slowness of reports and the gross inaccuracies in them eg. Dromader, Albury, Pelair and on and on. Airservices could not explain away the ADSB controversy or the loss of staff or movement of costs to the GA sector.
  17. up-into-the-air
    Have seen this, but Carmody is working to negate all forward movement for the industry. The Skidmore "stakeholder engagement officer" Robert Walker has continued under Carmody. Their attitude, as shown in the 27th February 2017 Senate estimates shows contempt for the Senators and their positive direction for aviation. The last #casa missive shows a "toning down" of attitude and even a speed up in processing of #avmed applications. But is this just an apparition or is it real?? There has been no change in staff or removal of key obstructions within #casa. Until this happens, there will be no change. At the Avalon air show Carmody spoke, but there is no indication of of anything but a negative attitude towards aviation participants. Summary - Just more spin and lies. PS: Same from #atsb [Hood] and Airservices [Jason Harefield]

    The #atsb is certainly on the nose, only just pipped by #casa. Avalon showed how dysfunctional #casa were with the #casa castle. #atsb is still at the #pelair inquiry and won't complete it until 7 1/2 years are up. Judicial inquiry needed.

    The saga continues and the new acting CEO of #casa has a serious history, summarised in the article below. The use of a code-of-conduct as a western Australia emeritus professor said does not make something "un-illegal" Criminality and the #casa code of conduct
  20. up-into-the-air
    Yes, they were, but the Nurse Karen Casey was badly injured and #atsb, #casa, Truss and the Department [#mrdak] all have avoided her questions as an "...unknowing #aviation participant....". Karen has had her damages judgement appealed in the NSW Supreme Court to be heard next week. Maybe, CP, we should be working towards no fault #aviation insurance as it took eight years in the Lockhart River loss of 15 lives for the insurance payout.

    TP, questions asked, questions asked in the post. Not assertions of fact!!

    Well Keith, the Jabiru issue starts and finishes at Jonathon Aleck. He signed the Jabiru Instrument and he, at the time, was in charge of all things light aviation - Gliders, Experimental, RAAus etc And Aleck did not get the relieving gig to replace Skidmore when he backed his bag and left #casa. [Some history on Skidmore] WHY?? Where did the advice come from for the Jabiru issue, when the statistics used were quite false and misleading?? Down the line "advisers" of course. And who would have been the principle one??, the ex-ceo of RAAUS. What influence did he yield can be asked, together with, why was he so hard on Jabiru?? I leave that for others.
