I wonder if Spence and Co. realise that Ben Morgan's opinion of the CASA TWG represents and clearly articulates the general industry view of all within. Those who are forced to deal with, or work under, or comply with the beyond all reason rubbish the CASA system imposes, for no tangible benefit. Perhaps a link to Morgan's video should be used as a sign off to any and all correspondence with Spence and Co.
Beats seven bells out 'kind regards' and is, very much so, an accurate representation of general opinion.

I share your utter frustration and disgust. The time has come for the industry to March on Canberra, both the CASA offices and Parliament House and cause one mighty ruckus…..the fat cats will continue to do this until they are physically stopped….unless the pollies see votes going elsewhere it won’t change

So those of us flying a Baron are all over 2000kg. Great.
Quote:Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Australia
Sandy Reith I actually raised the issue of Baron owners specifically, because a 2,000kg MTOW would leave these owners out... Yet, these owners are just like all other private/recreational pilots, out enjoying a weekend flight to have fun. The entire situation is simply absurd. Many years ago CASA created this problem by incorrectly arguing that medical certification was directly linked to aircraft weight. This fraud has continued for several decades, and now is creating all manner of problems because they can't untangle themselves out of it.

Just as Clinton McKenzie has shown with Glen Buckley and Arthur Pape recently in video discussions, the CASA standard is to lie, obfuscate, delay and deny. Its only concern is to administer and regulate in in such a manner as suits its own interests.
This self serving independent corporation doesn’t give a damn for the harm done to the General Aviation industry or any GA individuals, let alone the National interest.
Only a prominent public campaign will cause Parliament to make changes to prevent the further destruction of our GA industry. CASA must be disbanded and aviation given to a Department with a responsible Minister as is the Westminster system. That’s not perfect but at least there’s a direct line between an elected official and the voters.
The independent corporate model is a failed experiment of governance, and, reading Hansard, the expressions in 1988 by MPs against the new concept have been truly vindicated, just as forecast.

People should revolt and just do what they want to or need to do.

Where is Pip Spence? Or is she just another irresponsible incompetent fat cat?
Ian Tucker
Unbelievable, more CASA buggery ? bloody disgrace. Sorry you have to put up with this shit Ben. Where to from here? Our political representatives need to pull this SASA rabble into line.
Sandie Kelly
This type of stupidity is across the board Ben. Perhaps contact Ex Qantas pilot Graham Hood or Cafe Locked Out. They are all about getting the stories out there.
Hop Harrigan
Ben, you need to take a break Mate. I agree with the suggestions of Sharon Bailey however South Australia Senator Alex Antic has more common sense than all of the Labor Senators combined. Give his office a call.
Clinton McKenzie
We always predicted the ‘review’ and the Part 67 TWG process was going to be an Avmed scam to justify a forgone conclusion. At least you gave it go.
We should all judge Avmed by what they do, not what they say.
Mark Mc Donald
Do not resign Ben, That will give Manderson a little personal win
Koos de Wet
Ben, I admire how you have tried to inject some common sense, factsbased evidence and considered logic into a clearly compromised regulatory organization and now is not the time to throw in the towel. You are doing great work in my book and if you cannot get results I don't know who can. Tough it out buddy because whether it probably seems to you now that you are not making progress, your tenacity is clearly rattling the cages in Canberra from what you are sharing with us. Now is not the time to hoist the white flag, but rather the time to first calm down a bit and then go in even harder. Let there be no doubt in your mind Ben the vast majority of us are 100% behind you and proud, yes proud and appreciative of what you are doing for us. You are a true aviation hero in my book, so go get em tiger.
Debi Jefferson
The creation of a technical working group is just another tactical delay and to set a weight limit or make us sign a statutory declaration is exactly the same as offered at RRAus all pointless.
Sharon Bailey
Please ask for an interview with Graham Hood and John Larter . They have been discussing the compromises in pilot standards and Kate Anderson's lack of aviation knowledge and the medical standards that should apply. Please see Malcolm Roberts attempt to get her to Senate estimates to answer questions. She has not showed twice.
Thank you for speaking out. Please get together with Hoody and the many pilots who are concerned about the current direction of aviation in Aus.
Dave Berenholtz
Thanks so much Ben for you advocacy on this and so many other issues. I hope you chose to continue the fight for reasonable evidenced based outcomes. I hope too that SAAA and others support your stance vocally on behalf of all pilots.
I’d suggest that all private ops that a pilot is licensed for including, multi IFR, come under new regs in line with the data available from the FAA with their huge number of GA aircraft and many years of simple medical requirements. We have a great model already tested for us.
That seems the simple easy option for the working group to put forward.
Quote:David Evans
Dave Berenholtz the SAAA is on the current CASA TWG working this exact issue so yes, the SAAA are right behind this.
Normie Edmunds
If it was a CASA run meeting, on TEAMS (coz they don’t use zoom) it was probably recorded.
Quote:Sandy Reith
Normie Edmunds maybe an FOI? Wouldn’t that be something?
