Quote:- P. Spence on this thread, “ The US also does not have an equivalent of our approved self-administering organisations (ASAOs) which we will need to consider as part of implementation locally.”...

Hope springs eternal but considering the destruction of General Aviation by government neglect has been evident for some thirty years then hope is tempered by reality. Words are cheap, we wait for s...

Too bad that David Fawcett won’t be asking questions in the Estimates Committee meetings. That video in post #213 should be mandatory viewing for anyone who is interested in “saving General Aviation...

It’s been obvious for some time that our AOPA has been in the doldrums. Partly due to bumping heads against fortress CASA for so long that enthusiasm wanes? But whatever the past or circumsta...

Another change of the regulations which will include a number of new procedures that will be documented and incorporated into CASA approved operator manuals following some years of careful study shoul...

Senator McDonald’s video clip shows her knowledge about the destruction by CASA of our general aviation (GA). Unfortunately she’s not espoused the only credible means of rectification of the inhere...

Dear K, Quite so, shills are not enough, it’s thinking and judgement, much as any assignment in life, but with a bunch of time critical variables thrown in for good measure. Then there’s always...

Aye m’lud t’were a wee drop of the heather I may have consumed before I put pen to paper, but the weakly travail must meet the printer’s desk on time. What’s this spell checker caper? Oh yes spelt wea...

The Class 5 ‘PIR’ will spend much time and effort considering the opinions of themselves and will certainly overlook facts such as 31 years of successful RAAUS low weight category self declared medica...

The rot, the waste of time and money, the loss of hundreds of General Aviation flying schools and charter operators and aircraft maintenance businesses can be traced back to 1988. Transport Ministe...

Perhaps it’s just a case of being in the game long enough to understand the CASA make work playbook. CASA is fond of talking in ponderous and learned fashion about human factors. What has driv...

The trouble with the said Canavan and McKenzie is that their righteous protesting the Albanese government hasn’t translated into concrete and positive policies to deal with the obvious dysfunctions in...

P2 has assembled the information and comment in that post from the not so distant past which again highlights the dubious politicking by Albanese and by Rex management. And it should not be forgot...

“ That's about it – apart from Spence reinventing the wheel; ” How true, would be amusing if it wasn’t wasting so much time. And so much for the ‘experts’ who are tasked with the administration...

The airports issue should start with the fact that government owned civil airports should be open for available much like roads. The excessive fees and restrictions are elements that have impacted neg...

Ken Cannane is the tireless standard bearer for a logical reform of Australia’s aviation regulation. The lack of political interest is a blot on our body politic and we need a concerted effort to ...

Senator McKenzie is on the the right track but the General aviation community needs to be asking what are the policies being developed to cause fundamental reform in order to cure the same old same ol...
