AMROBA Breaking News: 'Safety All Round'

To all members

“Safety All Around” has been AMROBA’s motto since we started.

Australia’s ICAO audit this year found that Australia would ‘benefit’ by complying with Convention Annexes.

• Note carefully, using “benefit” is diplomatic speak for saying we would have a “safer” aviation system if we were compliant with the Annexes “Safety” Standards and Recommended Practices. (SARPs)
  

These are Safety Standards and Practices developed by ICAO working groups of professional specialists, agreed to by ICAO member States, Australia included, mainly to reduce the possibility of aircraft accidents and incidents.

What we cannot understand is why government condones lodging thousands of differences to these accident and incident reducing Safety Standards and Practices.

The latest Breaking News raises this issue.

Important in Engineering is using a universal language, terminology, and definitions so mistakes are not made by interpretation.

Australia, as a leading ICAO nation, should be 100% compliant with SARPs like Singapore.

No wonder, our global recognition as a safety regulated aviation nation is waning, we don’t have global recognition of the Australian Release Certificate after 25 plus years.

Maybe the next government, whoever is in charge, will focus on safety for all by global harmonisation.
