3. Political and Bureaucracy Support is Essential

Most aviation industry associations have come to realise to obtain a fair aviation regulatory system we need political support like never before. This is needed when sustainable growth of an industry is not the aim of the current regulatory system. Aviation would not have grown unless past regulators listened to the ambitions and proposals of our aviation pioneers and created a regulatory system so their proposals became reality.

Without doubt, this all changed when CAA was created for many reasons.

However, when all of the general aviation associations met in Wagga it removed the perception built up within the political and bureaucracy that there were differences in opinions and separate GA associations had different opinions on the directions for GA. That perception was nurtured by questionable government consultation processes used to divide sectors of the aviation industry by selective consultation.

Since Wagga, many politicians, government departments and even some within CASA have come to accept that the industry has one aim, to remove impediments to enhancing safety and the growth of GA.

The USA system is by far the largest GA system in the world and has a safety record second to none. So why would you not adopt the system for Australia with a less populated country but similar in size.

Entry pathways into aviation must be multiple as provided in the EASA and FAA systems.

Maybe the Wagga Summit got this message across to the political and bureaucracy at last. CASA must provide as many pathways as possible to allow new participants to enter in to our aviation world. There has to be a real stop to restricting pathways and freedom of choice.

Fighting for Your Freedom to Fly has never been truer than at this moment.

MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO ENTER AVIATION NEEDED

Good to see KC & the AMROBA band have not backed away one iota from the good fight -
