I am not certain how much clearer we can make it to the Senate; the evidence is overwhelming. It government does not accept it's responsibility, the CASA board cannot control the department and Skidmore continues on his present circular track, the smoke screen being generated to cover the introduction of some of the worst law ever drafted for and inflicted on Australian aviation will work. Then the blame for the approaching shambles will rest squarely with those who could have acted, but did not.
Will someone with a bit of political power please, put the brakes on this farcical department. hire someone with a blind clue to run the place before the damage becomes un-repairable, the industry irredeemable.
Quote:"CASA said it was “particularly interested” in receiving grant proposals on aviation safety issues with heliports; aviation safety issues with aerodromes and buildings in Australia; and aviation medicine clinical standards evidence base."
Can you believe this? Millions upon millions of taxpayer and industry dollars down the drain, now they want to spend even more. One glimmer perhaps, recognition that they are unable to quantify safety issues as above by themselves.
The piece de resistance is however "safety issues"....."aviation medicine clinical standards evidence base". Yes well AVMED will need a heavy rearguard action in view of the bill before the US Congress to do away with most avmed exams because there is no supporting safety case. That's right nil, zero, no evidence, none, of increased safety of flight any more than the same regime would make your next road trip any safer.
