Sandy - "Why does AVMED require funding, cooperation and resources in order to make rational changes for the good of Australia’s aviation industry?"
Well, that is a fair question, one which has puzzled those who must use the AVMED system, across the board, have been asking for a long while now. Item - Cooperation. It is crystal clear that industry, the DAME and pilot body would absolutely support some serious changes to the AVMED system; no shortage of support or cooperation from those most affected by the current system. So it begs the question - where does the serious, long standing opposition to logical rationalisation of system reside? No brainer. Without internal cooperation, no matter how good the intentions, the logic and the system changes are; without 'internal' cooperation, nothing will change for the better.
Funding - even the logical, efficient notion to 'modernise' and streamline to a user friendly 'App' will cost money. The savings will need to be justified and funds allocated. Once again, it becomes a matter of internal cooperation and corporate will power to bring the AVMED system into the early 21 st century.
Resources - most have, at one time or another, had cause to contact AVMED; and, I believe most have been (once able to eventually talk to to someone) been happy enough with the first respondent, but once beyond the first gateway, the true picture emerges and it ain't a pretty one. How many times now has the best intentions of the 'off line' resources been overruled and ended up in the AAT? If the DAME finds a faulty spark plug and refers that to a 'specialist' who declares the said spark plug to be serviceable; why is that 'expert advice' challenged? Don't make sense - why is the valuable resource of expert advice so often ignored?
Anyway; I though Doc K made of the 'right stuff', my advice
