Latest Breaking News Article: Bring Back Small Businesses

Over the break, I have been researching why aviation did so well under Government Department management and why it has not been as successful under Government Department and Agency Management.  Remember, one Department has been split into a Department & Agencies with some blurred responsibilities.

What was surprising is sole Departmental management, whilst based in Melbourne in particular, developed aviation regulations to enable people to obtain employment in the aviation industry it had created. The basic approach was being compliant with ICAO standards and aligned closely with FAA concepts.

For instance, they realised that many operations were scaled down concepts from the FARs to work in Australia, especially in sizes of aircraft and operators/organisations.

But what was most interesting is that they nurtured small businesses, adopted the FAA concepts for non-FAA maintenance and flight training organisation by minimum red tape approvals based on “minimum aviation standards” that were produced, in those days, by the US Department of Transport.

Now spelt out in an FAA AC – referred to in latest BN.

Many of the DCA publications relating to personnel training/licencing was focused on gaining employment in the industry it had created.

e.g. 
“DCA Publication 35, DCA states DCA’s AME licence development approach: “This publication produced for the guidance of those employed, or those interested in employment, in the engineering work of the civil aviation industry, who wish to become informed on the matter of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licences.”

The document mirror imaged the ICAO AME training manuals.

Today, regulatory development is based on other countries without any change to enable employment in Australia.

There is absolutely no other reason for decline than aviation the regulatory system.

The massive GA industry that existed was actually regulatory removed, AMROBA contends it time to resurrect DCA aviation small aviation industry. 

Please read, it is interesting stats.
