I wish Tarryn Kille well in her new position, hopefully her experience will help. Perhaps she could have corrected CEO Pip Spence’s extraordinary statement that a self declared private pilot medical would be a “world’s first.” I’m sure Tarryn would be well aware of the 70 and 40 year histories of the gliding fraternity and of RAAUS in terms of their successful self declared car driver standard.
Tarryn might also look at the extraordinary cost escalation of running CASA. Surely the money derived from the aviation community and the general taxpayer deserves to be carefully spent and be of real value? From a few short years ago $200 million pa to now some $300 million.
Those of us that have been in the real world of making business in General Aviation know very well that CASA has destroyed much of GA for no benefits to safety and certainly to the detriment of the National interest. For one most glaring example the loss of hundreds of flying schools all over Australia and the now significant dearth of pilots as direct result of CASA’s extremely complex and expensive regulatory environment.
