To all members,

September Newsletter reviews White Paper Policies.

I have been re-reading government White Papers and wonder why we don’t get benefits from White Paper policies.

It appears that CASA outcomes are different to these positive industry supported policies.


For instance, “improving alignment between CASA licensing and VET qualifications”

If CASA had used the EASR adoption correctly, TAFE AME training would still be happening resulting in no shortages.

“Integration” of adopted regulations with other Australian regulations is the No 1 action when adopting foreign regulations.

EASRs have both a Part A and Part B to most of their regulations, Part B are instructions to EU NAAs on how to implement Part A.

“Part B147.B.25 Exemptions Regulation (EU) 2019/1383

[i](a)  The competent authority may exempt a State education department school [system] from:[/i]

1. being an organisation as specified in point 147.A.10.”

i.e. no Part 147 approvals. Use VET system.  Less red tape, provides a level playing fields with other trades.

So, CASA could simply exempt all VET RTOs from being Part 147 approved for Basic (Trade) Training, all modules.

Condition, VET courses meet CASR Parts 66/147 standards.

Oops, this needs CASA to complete adoption of EASR Basic training course standards.

Add: EASR Part 147 course duration standards to MoS.

Outcome:      meet White Paper policy intent.

2. White paper policy: “CASA is pursuing mutual recognition and international alignment opportunities”

So how many mutual agreements enables engineering design, manufactured aircraft/products and maintenance services be available to  nations that Australia/CASA has finalised a mutual agreement with?

The White Paper policies are important for the growth of the industry, why make it so complicated.

The policies can be simply applied with outcome based regulations.
