Asked what to say?
Firstly it’s all been said over and over again, but to anyone new to the subject there’s not one shred of evidence that CASA and its AVMAD, oops typo AVMED section, contribute to aviation safety.
How is it that CASA can totally ignore 40 years of the successful self declared car driver medical standard for the low eight category of Recreational Aviation Australia? Or the successful implementation of a rational self declared medical certification of private pilots in the USA and UK?
CASA continues to stall, prevaricate and delay reforms to maintain the power and jobs for itself at a colossal expense to numerous pilots and to the whole General Aviation (GA) community. Having knocked out thousands of pilots from flying more capable VH registered GA aircraft CASA has managed to 2/3rds wreck what was a vibrant Australian General Aviation industry.
Impossible to quantify the $billions lost in economic activity, tax losses, services lost, jobs lost.
Almost all of CASA’s reforms of the last 35 years have been a slight shuffle forward after many steps backwards.
CASA is incapable of administering aviation in a rational fashion that would allow real growth and efficiencies for the benefit of all Australians. CASA must be disbanded and aviation be administered through a regular Department with a responsible Minister at its head. Ring, write contact your local MP and State Senators regularly.
