P2 comment: Some of the QON are interesting, especially the written QON from the Greens Senator Larissa Waters which again look like they've been written by Civil Air...

Q0123: Senator Waters https://www.aph.gov.au/api/qon/downloade...nNumber123

Did CASA ensure that Airservices complied with its internal Safety Management System requirements when changing the separation standards / separation assurance? Specifically:
Was an ESIR submitted detailing the incorrect applications of standards / separation assurance?
Were the correct environmental assessments carried out regarding any potential noise impacts of the change of procedures?
Was a Temporary Local Instruction issued regarding the changes?
Were the training impacts assessed for the changes made?
Was an internal PIR carried out to determine if other errors had been made in the implementation of the NPR airspace changes?

Have industry concerns raised in 2016 regarding hold/push downs on the proposed SID/STARs for the NPR airspace been addressed?
Are the current VNAV profiles the most energy efficient for airline operators, and based upon ICAO CDO recommendations?
Do the current VNAV profiles produce an increase in noise versus airline preferred altitudes due to a lower, slower and hence ''dirtier,'' noisier, and higher engine power requirements? What are the safety implications?
Has CASA assessed the safety implications of utilising the current inefficient VNAV profiles? What was the result?
