To all members

August Newsletter is now available on our website.

The frustration of members with general aviation regulatory reform is made worse when you look at the efficiency changes that have been carried out in the US and EU.

Both EASA and FAA have implemented cost saving benefits that hasn’t reduced safety.

What both systems have done is reduce Regulator involvement.

To harmonise so our industry has less red tape and costs, it would need the Regulator to adopt rules that could reduce their staff.

Asking a public service entity to provide regulations that could reduce their employee numbers has not been successful.

The changes introduced by both EASA and FAA have reduced red tape and simplified systems that has regenerated general aviation.

Our economic forecast by most sources is not positive – a negative time for our general aviation.

However, it is an ideal time to provide red tape reductions been promised for decades.

For instance, urgent adoption of either the EASA or FAA alternative systems to Part 145.

Or maybe CASA will simplify Parts 21, 22, 145 by adoption of EASA/FAA regulations.

What has always confused us is why Government won’t provide GLOBAL trade skills & licences by adopting either the full FAA or EASA systems.

Government must make the decision its agency doesn’t seem capable of doing.

Australian aviation regulations adopted from EASRs or FARs did not include crucial regulations for training.

This has meant Government has limited maintenance personnel career training pathways to Australian workers.

Is government so anti general aviation?
