Your latest Newsletter explains why we have so much bureaucracy and red tape and why we no longer have flight training schools scattered across Australia, especially our regional communities supported by directly supervised small maintenance businesses.

Pre the transfer of department functions and responsibilities to agencies, the Regulations and Orders provided general aviation, aerial work, manufacture, maintenance and training requirements were based on Convention’s Annexes SARPs.

Because of the Air Navigation Act provisions for creating regulations, civil aviation participants really benefited from being compliant with the SARPs.

The problem was many Orders did not a regulatory head of power but were SARP compliant.

Instead of creating heads of power, new civilian experienced senior management cancelled many of the Orders that left us lowering compliance with the SARPs.

Australia’s highly respected Department Training School, ICAO supported, was also closed.

The Newsletter looks at Who is Responsible –

• Bureaucracy or industry participants for safety
  
• Cost Savings – Government – Industry, and
  
• Legislative/Regulatory Changes
  

If government red tape policies were followed some red tape would be reduced but, if the Department’s regulatory provisions for creating regulations were applied to all agencies, then we would have less differences lodged with the SARPs and benefit by giving effect to the SARPs.

ICAO’s last audit highlighted this, but no department/agencies plans to properly give effect to the Annexes’ SARPs.

The Newsletter amplifies these points.

No real regulatory reform will be completed until these provisions are applied.
