Just a short add on – in support. All Hitch has managed to do is feed the notion that a few private groups are true GA. It is a fact they are not. There are operators out there who are true GA; battling everyday to ensure ‘compliance and meet the ever increasing costs of the same. They cannot, no dare not, tell their story, yet they contribute – day after day to the well being of this nation, safely, effectively and without a voice. Time to take a wider view Hitch; there are more troubles in this world of Australian aviation than you ever mention; all you have done is perpetuate the CASA version of GA as squabbling, pathetic bunch of amateurs. This; as you well know, is simply not true.

Get the facts from Morgan, then write a true analysis – or; remain forever silent on matters of which you have not researched before grabbing a key-board and assisting in the denigration of a fine industry. Put up or shut up – your call.

In follow up to the P7 & P9 posts (above) I note that Hitch got the AP memos -  whether he understood the message is another matter entirely...

Representation Survey
19 September 2018

Australian Flying may have stirred a hornet's nest last week by posing the simple question: which is the right organisation to represent general aviation in Canberra. Is it AOPA? Is it RAAus? Then there are the composite organisations like TAAAF and AGAA. Now we want to know what you think. It is easy to declare yourself a leader, but the best way to find out is to look behind and see if anyone is following. So who are you following? Five easy questions that will tell us a lot about what the general aviation community thinks about representation in Canberra.
