ICAO compliance: Normalised Deviant (Australia) - TICK TOCK!! FAA (IASA) audit??

Latest from KC and AMROBA...

Via AP emails:

To all members, 

Making regulations to give effect to the ICAO (engineering) SARPs would provide benefits to the engineering sectors.

We all know that.

The government’s adopted harmonisation policy in the 1990s was on target to achieve these benefits.

CASA 2003/4 decision to go EASRs changed all that. 

The engineering benefits cannot be achieved with multiple differences lodged with ICAO against Annex 8, in particular.

When will government policy return to be in compliance with the SARPs? 

The first step is to adopt ICAO defnitions so we all use the global aviation terminology and meanings.

We are not unique, just another civil aviation country that is more focused on being unique and not harmonised. 

Maybe the recent ICAO audit findings may change government policy. 

Many say we would be better off if we kept the ANRs/ANOs 

Read the attached document that we will be putting on the website.

FYI (see attached) plus:

1.  ICAO compliance: The Exemplar (Singapore) vs the Normalised Deviant (Australia)

2. Mushrooms v Bubble Heads (Round 28).

Q/ How much has been lost (over the last 20+ years) from our GDP in earnings from lost potential international aeronautical industry export and domestic aviation productivity, with the draconian, isolationist,  internationally disharmonised aviation standards and Big-R regulatory policy of the Australian Aviation Safety Bureaucracy?

Q/ How long before ICAO are forced to call in the FAA IASA team to properly audit Australia?

The traveling public expects aviation to be the safest mode of transportation around the world, and the FAA's International Aviation Safety Assessment program – called IASA – is one of its proven, longstanding instruments to make sure those expectations are met.

Through this shared commitment among the FAA and civil aviation authorities around the world, the IASA program helps identify areas to strengthen aviation safety oversight and meet the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

When another country's air carrier flies into the U.S., or codeshares with a U.S. air carrier, they must meet safety standards set by the ICAO. Through the IASA program, the FAA focuses on a country's ability, not the ability of individual air carriers, to adhere to those international safety standards and recommended practices.

You can find more details about these standards and practices such as personnel licensing; operation of aircraft; and, airworthiness of aircraft, within the ICAO "Chicago Convention".

Specifically, the IASA program assesses and determines a country's compliance with these international standards on the ICAO's eight critical elements of effective aviation safety oversight in the ICAO Document 9734, Safety Oversight Manual. Those eight critical elements include:

1. Primary aviation legislation
   
2. Specific operating regulations
   
3. State civil aviation system and safety oversight functions
   
4. Technical personnel qualification and training
   
5. Technical guidance, tools and the provision of safety critical information
   
6. Licensing, certification, authorization, and approval obligations
   
7. Surveillance obligations
   
8. Resolution of safety concerns
   

The IASA program is administered by the FAA Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety (AVS), Flight Standards Service (AFS), International Programs and Policy Division (AFS-50). Supported by the FAA's Office of International Aviation (API), these divisions further work with countries who request additional assistance based on the IASA program's findings.
