KC & AMROBA - back to work in 2022. 

Via the AP email chains:

To all members

Hope all are well and looking forward to a return to normal as borders are down, hopefully stay down, except for WA.

An election year is a bad year for positive Act/Regulation changes but it is a year of expectations with the RRAT due to bring down its report prior to the election.

But I am a bit more positive than I was at the start of last year.

The future is now based on the Minister’s directions, the Department’s review of Acts  and CASA’s alignment with NZ/FAA system for GA.

The EASA airline system does not work in Australian GA, we need to re-align with the FAA.

We need to get trade training back into the maintenance sectors, trade standards that comply with the ICAO AME training manual.

If the Government & Opposition do not realise by now that the Acts & Regulations, and the silo divisions it has created in general aviation, is what is holding back aviation in Australia.

We need a government vision of growth and international participation by those employed by our members in aviation “Activities”.

There are two (2) aspects of aviation – one is OPERATIONS, the other is ACTIVITIES that include design, maintenance, manufacture and maintenance training.

Sadly, ever since they created CAA/CASA the focus has been on ‘operations’.

Unless the Minister changes the “Statement of Expectations” to the CASA Board, not much will change pre the election.

This is discussed in the Newsletter

The first positive is the Government’s review of the Airports Act.

Minister and Department may be getting on track, still not sure of CASA.
