To all members,

All the issues we have today go back to the 1980s when political lobbying created the CAA.

Government had already decided to shut down the Department of Civil Aviation and move it into the DoT in Canberra.

In hindsight, it has not been positive for the civil aviation engineering fields of design, manufacture, maintenance, or maintenance training.

As one that lived through it all, especially within the government 20 years of Department/Agency reorganisation.

DCA were very active in promoting australia’s capabilities overseas and obtaining manufacturing projects in Australia.

Since the late 1990s, when the US/EU FAA/EASA have led the way globally, if not harmonised, a country has a global engineering market only. Harmonised, a governmentdepartment/agency can negotiate mutal recognition based on the current Australia/US Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement that should have included aircraft and component maintenance by now if a government department/agency had been made responsible to promote australian civil aviation engineering globally as DCA originally had this responsibility

“Building on the EU-US Agreement on cooperation in the regulation of civil aviation safety, this Declaration of Intent will generate a new momentum in our EASA-FAA relationship, and allow for better alignment on the priorities voiced by the global aeronautical industry,”
