GA Inquiry witnesses rating - From Gold Star (chocfrog) to WOFTAM??   

Fascinating and at times very disturbing evidence presented today to the McDolittle inquiry. 

My rating from Gold Star to WOFTAM follows:

No1. Angel Flight and Marge Pagani for completely exposing the CASA executive for what they are...

The video should be read in conjunction with the Angel Flight submission just released prior to the hearing: https://auntypru.com/wp-content/uploads/...sion-1.pdf

Recommendations

• The Minister should commission an independent audit of the performance of both the ATSB
and CASA in relation to theirindependence, quality, analysis and research and the relationship
between ATSB, CASA, and the aviation industry.
• The Civil Aviation Safety Act and Regs must be urgently amended to ensure:
- CASA must use valid empirical valid data for determinations and rule-making, and publish
the data and analyses used to justify those determinations and rules.
- CASA’s protocols must be mandatory and adhered to, not optional as at present.
- CASA must be reviewed regularly to ensure the present poor culture, evident from many
of the submissions to the current Senate inquiry into general aviation, does not continue.
- CASA should not be empowered to make arbitrary decisions which affect the aviation
industry financially, and which have an adverse impact on rural and regional Australians
without an open and properly conducted safety case.
- CASA cannot continue to mislead the Minister, the Parliament and the general public with
inadequate, incomplete and unjustifiable reasons for its actions. Note: In the various RAAT
inquiries, CASA stated repeatedly that it had a safety case, but failed to present it. The
court proceedings show that no safety case existed.

No2. City of Kingston

No3. SAR Aviation Medicine

No4. Ken Cannane 

P2 comment: Very important historical context to why we are currently in total non-compliance with our obligations to the Chicago (ICAO) 1944 convention (Treaty). 

No5. AMROBA/AFTIA

No5.

P2 comment: A totally insipid performance from our new CC where he totally drops the ball on the disjointed, false data provided and shared between the ATSB and CASA on the ongoing Angel Flight embuggerance - Scorecard D minus.

No6.

P2 comment: Another example of total arrogant, bureaucratic (Can'tberra bubble) ignorance on the reality of aviation businesses trying to survive in a privatised aviation 'ecosystem' where the odds are seriously stacked against them -     

No7. WOFTAM - If you ever wanted a clearer example of how recalcitrant, dysfunctional and (again) totally disconnected with reality our aviation regulator is, look no further than this -   

  

God Save Our Industry! Because CASA and/or the Parliament never will...UDB!
