CASA is providing exams to remove exclusions – AMROBA supports this, should have been available from day one.

We appreciate CASA opening this process to remove exclusions. Now keep provide simpler process so industry can prosper.

What we would like CASA to do is work with education in developing VET courses to support the many engineering/maintenance VET courses similar as they have done with the motor mechanic.

DCA was a big supporter of developing formal training provided through the VET system. Without the regulator involvement it just does not happen.

There is another major structural change happening in Europe and North America, Australia is not keeping abreast by remaining harmonised in engineering certification and maintenance.

I recently spent a week in Qld. Bad drivers, one crashed into the back of me when I was stopped.

However, talking with other fields in Qld, they were also raising the issue where secondary education may provide a lot of knowledge, but some say it is not preparing students for work.

NVET needs many courses to support the future with these consensus standards being applied to Part 23 and Part 22 aircraft.

The fact that government provide “Certificates” in numerous forms that business must use, Which government department is responsible for obtaining recognition of these certificates by other nations. At this stage, no department/agency seems to have responsibility for obtaining recognition of any of the government “certificates”.

The regulatory system is dated and not ready for the changing aviation engineering standards.

Gone are the days of regulatory system getting ahead of the technical changes
