It is, probably, unfair to burden readers with the ‘dreary’ details. Those are neatly trapped within the Hansard.
Civil Aviation Act 1988—
Civil Aviation Order 82.0 Amendment Order (No. 1) 2018 [F2018L01415].
Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 and Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998—
Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Amendment Instrument 2018 (No. 2) [F2018L01319].
GNSS Navigation Under the V.F.R. (CGG Aviation) Instrument 2018—CASA 68/18 [F2018L01396].
Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998—
Air Traffic Control Licence (Airservices Australia) Exemption 2018—CASA EX141/18 [F2018L01385].
CASA 125/09 (Further Body Sample Collection Procedure – Quantisal Oral Fluid Collection Device) Amendment Instrument 2018—CASA 69/18 [F2018L01360].
Fuel Requirements Exemption 2018—CASA EX126/18 [F2018L01317].
Repeal of Airworthiness Directive AD/RB211/26 Amdt 1—CASA ADCX 013/18 [F2018L01329].
If however, you can find a sober moment to consider the implications of both ‘exemption’ and ‘amendment’ to regulations. This nation has paid an extraordinary amount of money to have the Civil Aviation Regulations ‘reformed’. One of the principal objectives of the now three decade long attempt was for 'it' to be done without the need for ‘exemption’. Since the process began, CASA have been obliged to issue more exemptions to the ‘new’, ‘reformed’ regulations than ever before – in history. Why? Well, I’m sure that any operator, worth the AOC, can find supportable evidence that the ‘new rules’ ain’t worth a cap full of cold water (I did say cap). Not only that, but ‘an exemption’ for one operator, creates an unfair commercial advantage; and, provides leverage for the authority against the exempted operator. Control, in any form, apart from across the board compliance – for all – is indicative of a system which could be viewed by some as ‘corrupted’.
$400,000,000 spent; 30 years and not complete: exemption after exemption (for the chosen few) and still the only solution to ducked up regulation? FCOL. Adopt the FAR’s – the PNG CAR – or even the Khalistan rule set – anything but the incredible philosophical, legal minefield Australia is required to work within. I say this – operators may ‘appear’ to be ‘compliant’ – on the surface; but under the surface; bollocks. Most of the regulations, those which can be understood, are dismissed as CASA faery-pooh. The regulations are creating a very unsafe, tick-a-box, 'go along to get along' environment. With everyone holding their breath.
I’m not sure how many Ticks and Tock’s Australia has left in the kitty – plenty of warnings – ATR, Essendon, Mildura etc; etc.
Toot Bollocks, toot bollocks, toot toot toot.
(musical evening)..TOM hauled the Banjo out of storage - dogs luv it: do not ask me why.
