“It's an interesting document. Give it a read”.
So says Hitch at the end of an ‘interesting’ paragraph in the last LMH from Australian Flying.
Hitch – “In the advice, CASA has moved to distance themselves from the VET system, noting that completing the CPL syllabus does not complete a VET qualification, and that costs are completely out of their hands. CASA also mentions the need to train in recognised aeroplanes”.
That quirky little paragraph is intriguing. You could translate it any number of ways, depending on your own ‘experience’ of ‘reading’ CASA statements. To me it seems that having created the shambles, CASA now move to distance themselves from the train wreck they created. There is also a whiff of ministerial paranoia there. Rather than identify the ‘problems’ and smooth off the ragged edges; i.e. fix up the duck up, another layer of protection for CASA has been added. Parts 61/141/142 are a very expensive, embarrassing failure. To add insult to injury, there are some excellent systems produced by other adult, sensible nations which could have been used as a model; providing alignment with other national qualifications, allowing an easy transition and parity in qualifications. Alas….
Then there is the mystery of ‘the vaporised link’. Curiously intriguing. Like P2 I went to read the offered ‘advice’. Only to be advised that the link had been ‘archived’. No problem – I thought, until I tried to find where it had vanished to. Twenty frustrating minutes later I stumbled over the following helpful advice:-
CASA - “If that doesn’t work, the page may have moved and been archived and you may need to search for the page you’re looking for”. FDS+ WTD?
Blank line here; containing deleted expletive. (Much cussin’).
“P2 OBS: Passing strange? This web link provided by Hitch: https://www.casa.gov.au/licences-and-cer...g-provider no longer takes you to the content to which he refers? Apparently the content has been archived after only 2 days??
Well; if P2 can't find it - then I've no hope. So, who put up the link? Who demanded the link be ‘archived’ to a place beyond mortal reach? Aye, passing strange are the ways of Sleepy Hollow.
“It's an interesting document. Give it a read”. Love to mate – can you publish it – if you copied the thing – otherwise, ‘tis lost forever.
Toot – toot.
