To all members,

1. February 2025 Newsletter subjects

The industry we have is exactly what the legislative/regulative system has generated.

One of the biggest drawback to GA is CASA’s vision of general aviation.

You would think a government agency vision would assist economic development of general aviation.

Ever since 1988 when an agency was created, there is no government legislative direction to grow civil aviation

What about recognizing Education qualification, in regulations or referred standards,  available for various maintenance personnel.

It is a disgrace we have not globally harmonized.

2. I have also attached some comparison with the NZ Civil Aviation Act.
I envy the Kiwis, a Minister is directly involved with NZ civil aviation.

NZ Director of Aviation has more functions and responsibilities than CASA.

On top of that, I included an ICAO chart of the Top 15 countries based on registered aircraft.

• Of course, if all aircraft were on CASA’s aircraft register, we would higher than our 5th ranking. ICAO recommended that Australian civil aviation participants would benefit if Annex standards, practices were properly implemented. 
  
• ICAO provides many training packages for government/agencies need to implement ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), across different projects, effectively.

Plus KC on the effects of red tape...

Red tape not only affects civil aviation engineering businesses but also aerospace businesses.

Gilmour Space Technologies chief executive Adam Gilmour estimates that the company has taken “a $20 million hit to our capital” during its long wait for regulatory approval for the maiden launch of its Eris rocket.

Gilmour Space is waiting on a final permit from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which Adam Gilmour says is very close. But the final part of the regulatory journey has been a long one.

Regardless, there is no getting past the cash that’s been burnt in the past 10 months as the company has waited to light the rocket’s ignition.
