AMROBA rejects CASA proposed CASR Part 43 -

Via the AP email chains:

AMROBA has sent the attached rejection of CASR Part 43 to CASA’s CEO Pip Spence and the Senate’s Regulatory Review Committee.

rrat.sen@aph.gov.au.

Pip.Spence@casa.gov.au

Your Help Is Required to Stop this Part.

It is available as breaking news.

This is a proposal that just cannot be made. It is proposed to be an opt out system that is not supported by the majority of CASA field office AWIs let alone any of our members. Everyone that has contacted me want it stopped. 

CASA is proposing to send it to Parliament within months. 

AMROBA was advised that this FAR based Part will not have FAA ACs top & tailed to support it but unique Australian advisory circulars not yet written.  It also adopts ICAO Aircraft Maintenance Technicians terminology that is same as LAME but they have applied it to US Repairmen referenced in FAR Part 65 Subpart E repaiman that is not being added to CASR Part 66. Not adopting FAR standards. 

Disharmonised, disjointed regulatory framework from a regulator that has obviously lost the vision for Australia to comply with ICAO SARPs for the benefits of our members. 

The real text of the Part has not been circulated for comment.

• No training has been provided to CASA field staff, let alone industry.
  
• There has been no benefits for industry identified that we are aware of.
  

CASR Part 43/42 should be merged into one Part underpinning all aircraft maintenance as FAR Part 43 does in the USA FAR system.

All we can ascertain from what CASA has produced is more red tape, bureaucracy and costs that are not benefits for industry. 

Why is CASA continually creating silos in the maintenance sectors? The rest of the world has a Part 43 based on FAR Part 43 if adopting FARs.

Urgent: We need your help.

AMROBA needs all its members to also write to Pip Spence rejecting this proposal.

We also need members to urge other AMOs and industry participants to write and reject this Part 43 proposal.

As one insider stated to me “it will be a disaster worse that the introduction of flight crew licencing.”

Even the latest ICAO audit findings suggested Australia should be adopting the SARPs for the “benefits” of industry participants. 

This Part must be totally rejected and it will rely on as many as possible writing to CASA registering their rejection. 

As many individuals and organisations must also make submissions rejecting this proposal. 

The current regulatory reform process is not fit for purpose. 


Thank you

Safety All Around.

Hmm...perhaps a quick shout out to RRAT Committee Senators in advance of tomorrow's hearing could see this letter tabled in Estimates and some serious QON put to Spence and CO?? -
