Ian, I take you point. Tiger and I recon the of the 13123 members of Ra Aus, if 1% know or even are interested would be most likely close to the mark. The rest would'nt give a stuff what was happening. All they want to do ios to jump into their plane anf FLY.IMWO the way the board is behaving , the answer to having anything on the website would be zero.

Its iinteresting to hear that some borad members DON'T realise what their position means. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING that happens in RA-AUS. This latest incident (failure of 3rd audit) should not have happend if ALL BOARDMEMBERS ACTED to make those responsible for audit failure to get it right.

Yes ite past 5pm Canberra??wander why no update, may be someone has a big headache???? or they have not looked at the time:bash:

Thanks David. Hope that members can support anything that can improve things above the present situation

I phoned up a board member this morning asking him what goes on??? He said that Raa failed another audit from Casa. The way it reads on the Raa web site is so nicely worded that you would think nothing is amiss?????
-
This is the third time that RAA has failed the audit from CASA. The Board has had enough warning form them to get their act together, and have failed, so down comes the big stick. Lets see how strong the they are in making sure that all the boxes have the right ticks in them

Thanks Yenn. At the flying school where i fly their are people of all ages,from 17 to 82 that are training, have not soloed yet,but getting close. The average age could well be up in the 60 plus. Maybe this could be one for Ian to have ago at???
