Wombat I beg to differ because the Act, and BJ’s SOE refers, maintains the prime instruction that safety is the highest priority. Therefore the SOE is really only giving hints about looking to risk, getting flying training out to the regions, reducing costs and the regulatory burden. It’s only a couple of years since the Government amended the Act asking CASA to consider the costs to industry. What reforms have occurred to make any difference to GA viability?
Facts are there are signs of what should be reformed but no specific reform measures with action timelines. It’s as though the SOE considers areas of reform but fails to resolve the two outstanding contradictions.
Safety still trumps every consideration, and the Minister claims in the SOE that he and Parliament are responsible but CASA is independent. Impossible, and nothing to force CASA to make radical changes. They will not, unless and until Mr. Responsible, whoever that might be, makes them.
