In this issue we raise the same issue that the ICAO 2023/24 audit found.

ICAO stated Australia “could more fully realise the benefits of closer alignment with ICAO’s standards and practices (SARPs)”

There is also ICAO – Government “corrective acion plans” that have been agreed with ICAO.

Why won’t those “corrective action plans” be made public? 

1/ We provide an example how government lodge a difference with Annex 1, Chapter 4 that is very misleading to other nations.

a) By not adopting and implementing these SARPs, we are being held in the past.
b) We cannot understand why government/CASA cannot look to the future.
c) Adopting and implementing ICAO SARPs is the first step to modernisation.

2/ EASA introduced a GA aircraft maintenance organisation a few years ago, EASA Part CAO.

a) A Combined Airworthiness Organisation can be approved for:
b) Non passenger, non complex aircraft maintenance
c) Also perform the EASA “airworthiness review” – GA annual inspection does the same.
d) Also issue “permit to fly” so you can approve a customer’s aircraft to fly to your organisation for mainenanc.

Note: EASA has extended these functions to EASR Part 145 AMOs and CAMOs

3/ The shortage of LAMEs could be reduced if CASA adopted the EASA Part 66 B3 & B2L AME licences.

a) EASA introduced to ease entry into licencing especially for GA.
b) A B3, according to EASA, can attain a licence in half the classroom training hours as a B1.2. 

So why are we stuck in the past and not adopting the other half of CASR Part 66 AME licences. 

We have a bureaucracy that has not kept pace with the global industry changes or the SARPs? 

No wonder the industry is struggling instead of booming.
