1, 2, 3, and 4 the order doesn’t matter but just some action that will demonstrate to our beleaguered General Aviation (GA) industry that the Government is serious about rational policies that will grow GA jobs, businesses and services.
5. Minimum starting move for our infamous Aviation Medical branch of CASA would be car driver medical standard for Private Licence holders. Thirty something years proven in our light weight category and the success of the USA model leaves no doubt that this reform is viable.
6. Recommend the removal of the Aviation Security Identification Card, a most useless and multi $million impost on an ailing GA industry.
7. Recommend a halt to the alienation of irreplaceable airport land, noting that GA businesses can only operate from airports just as other businesses operate with roadways. Pip Spence and Mark Binskin can put to government that its not safe or efficient to cover these airports with shops and factories. They might point to the ludicrous situation where adjacent golf courses for the recreational benefit of a few golfers are protected from commercial developments.
8. As in the USA allow independent instructors who could then start to repopulate flying schools in numerous country centres replacing the hundreds that have disappeared by the impossibility of the ever worsening CASASTROPHE of the last thirty three years.
9. Structure all aircraft operating rules and administration together with a stepped approach as in the USA.
We are just getting started.
