Bollocks – quote - un quote.
Completely absurd, unmitigated BOLLOCKS. Scrap the bastard AUSTRALIAN part 61 – Bring in a slightly modified FAA/NZ part 61 and watch how fast the industry embrace change and how hard it will work to make the change seamless. The speed will blow your socks off.
More Bollocks – Take weekend off and READ the ducking thing; then try to make it work; start with a humble single engine 'charter' operation; work through to a mixed multi engine aircraft IFR fleet; take a stroll on the RPT/ FIFO heavier operation then, just for fun try a flight school. Then take a week away and visit those operations (not the CAsA selected ones, that's too easy). When you have gained some insight into 'running' an operation – from the coal face; sit down again and try to make Part 61 'work'. Perhaps, when at least a vague understanding of how civil aviation is managed has been gained; the charge to bin this appalling travesty will be led from the front; by a DAS. One who has at least faint comprehension of reality, rather than the current mush being spoon fed by those who have made a complete hash of the current 'rule set'.
Study of Part 61 as opposed to having tea, biscuits and endless 'chats' with the vested interest society will, or should, shock the DAS into coming to grips with doing his job; as it should be; not the way of bunch of highly skilled word weasels want it done; but the way industry demands he do it. If he is not prepared to do it properly, he should bugger off back to whichever sheltered workshop spawned him and learn to knit.
Mate, the skip is out of the back door, turn right walk ten paces, lift the lid and just drop the Part 61 abomination in there, close the lid. Then I'll put the kettle on and we can have a look at the rest of worlds, ICAO compliant, best practice rule set. Lets see if we can loose 500 pages of mindless, amateurish dribble.
Feed back – Bollocks....
.....Listen, the same vicious, vengeful casamites who terrified and beat the industry into silence are still doing their jobs. Tel me how FFS do you expect to get 'honest' feed back?, from those who have businesses and jobs to protect.
FCOFL - Toot ducking toot, toot, toot....

There, I feel better now.

“But at the same time what I’m trying to do now is … get the information — here’s my letter to people to say tell us what you think is not right and let us have a look at it and try to correct it.’’
Mr Skidmore also revealed he was looking at reinvigorating the Standards Consultative Council as one way of improving the regulatory process.
“That’s nice when you can see that starting to happen, so I’ll be looking for that and I know you guys will judge me on it,’’ he said.
Mr Skidmore took the unusual step last month of writing to all pilots about Part 61 seeking feedback on the rules.
“We need feedback from individuals about what is working well and what is not.’’
