CASA, without consultation, repealed CAO 1080.34.
This CAO is, or was, the CAR 42V approved data supporting the radio inspections of Schedule 5.
Schedule 5 radio inspections reference the CAO.
Currently, aircraft being maintained to Schedule 5 cannot be released to service as the applicable “approved” maintenance data has been repealed by CASA.
There is a possibility of hundreds of aircraft that have been illegally released to service.
CASA’s Michael Broom is aware of the issue.

Total incompetence - yet again. Let them explain that away to the Press, the industry, the Senate and the insurance companies and the passengers and the company's affected. Maybe they could ask Wodger - to sort out the 'team work' and suitable "paper-work" for the prosecution. Although who should prosecute whom is an interesting legal quandary.
