ARFFS Inquiry Update 4/4/19: Dear Sterlo - L&Ks Harfwit.
1 Response by Airservices Australia to evidence provided to the inquiry, dated and received 2 April 2019.
1 Questions taken on notice at a public hearing in Melbourne, Victoria on 14 March 2019 by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Answer received 28 March 2019.
P2 comments: After reading the Perth Airport RFFS safety case (from pg 5 of the AQON) it doesn't take an Einstein to realise that the whole review is just a tick-a-box routine. For example a quote, from page 11 of 17 of the safety case review, under the heading of 'Design Safety Management Activities':
In other words there was nothing to see before the safety case review, therefore there is 'still nothing see here - move along!'
I was curious to understand why it was that CASA decided to deploy their 'Stakeholder' spin doctor to the Melbourne hearing but after re-reading the Hansard - see Hansard link HERE - and now reading the weasel worded AQON, I fully understand why - degrees of separation for Carmody Capers and the Iron Ring...
However, given that Walker was the former spin doctor to ASA for 8 years, much like the Hooded Canary with the 2nd PelAir (cover-up) investigation, shouldn't he have excused himself from all involvement from this Inquiry?
Finally another addition to the submission pages: 25 Aviation Fire and Rescue Brisbane (PDF 22 KB)
