GlenB submission to McDolittle GA inquiry: Part A 

Via the AP email chains: Ref - https://auntypru.com/wp-content/uploads/...uckley.pdf

 This correspondence specifically relates to the following stated terms of reference:

• The operation and effectiveness of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)

• The legislative and regulatory framework underpinning CASA's aviation safety management functions.

• The application of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 and the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 to Australia's aviation sector, and whether the legislation is fit for purpose.

• The safety and economic impacts, and relative risks, of CASA's aviation safety frameworks

• The immediate and long-term social and economic impacts of CASA decisions on small businesses, agricultural operations and individuals across regional, rural and remote Australia.

• CASA's processes and functions, including:

o its maintenance of an efficient and sustainable Australian aviation industry, including viable general aviation and training sectors.
o the efficacy of its engagement with the aviation sector, including via public consultation; and
o its ability to broaden accessibility to regional aviation across Australia, considering the associated benefits of an expanded aviation sector.

My submission is relevant and it highlights my own personal experience and my perspective.

Additional Comment regarding the Terms of Reference

Irrespective of the Terms of Reference, this is a matter of Aviation Safety. To the Senators that cannot be expected to be Subject Matter Experts on Aviation Safety, you will comprehend the following.

Any national aviation safety regulator that engages with the industry, the way CASA does, can only negatively impact on aviation safety. At best, and highly unlikely, it will maintain safety. It cannot possibly improve the safety of aviation.
