What a bloody shambles.
It is; it’s an absolute disgrace. Working for Aunty with P2 and the crew on a daily basis you get kind of used to dealing with the aberrations, the obfuscation and wading, hip deep, in crap streaming out of the Canberra autocracies which purport to govern the aviation industries and the safety of the travelling public. Having just spent ten days at sea, with little else to do except the simple tasks of trimming sails, making a brew and dealing with wind and ocean; the crash of reality on returning to dry land comes as quite a shock. One needs to step away and forget all about ‘the troubles’ for while before returning to the fray; only then does the true horror of it become clear.
Step 1, grab an ale; step two, fire up the computer; step 3, catch up: step 4, reach for more ale and digest reading. We must thank P2 and the Estimates crew for finally getting the AQoN published. There is little wrong with the ‘back room’ team at the Senate, always helpful, mostly cheerful and best of all they respond to sensible requests. If only we could get the ‘aviation’ agencies imbued with the same attitude, the world would be a better place.
Reading through the AQoN’s is, I admit is a chore; but it needs to be done – if industry is to fully come to terms with the beast. For the beast is out of control, ungovernable and hell bent on mindless destruction. One need go no further than the Skidmore performance at Estimates and the CASA AQoN’s to realise this:-
ADSB – logic and common sense fail, dismally, to have any positive effect. The CASA board either powerless or disinclined to moderate; the ‘minister’ a simple minded delivery boy, running errands for department heads.
CVD – logic and common sense fail, dismally, to have any positive effect. The CASA board either powerless or disinclined to moderate; the ‘minister’ a simple minded delivery boy, running errands for department heads.
Part 61– logic and common sense fail, dismally, to have any positive effect. The CASA board either powerless or disinclined to moderate; the ‘minister’ a simple minded delivery boy, running errands for department heads.
While 61 has been slowly but surely insinuating it’s self into industry, the true tales of serious effect and impact are emerging. As a total, complete and utter balls up it must stand alone in the annals of aviation stupidity; a peerless exemplar of how not to do it – or; how to do it, if you are intent on mass embuggerance. The PAIN – pilots only loop – has been collecting part 61 horror stories for a while now and believe it is almost time for a serious, factual report to be made on the repercussions this truly dreadful law has provided; operationally, financially and personally to those it has affected the most. But where to send the ‘report’? Who will read the analysis ? Is that person capable of comprehending what is written? Is there someone, somewhere with the juice, interest and ability to unscramble the legal aberration which Skidmore and his Casamites must enforce?
The short answer is No. The true horror is hidden in the shadow of part 61; if you can stand it, have a quick read of the ‘new’ enforcement manual; then abandon hope; for there is none. “Prove it” howls the mob – “Easy” says I – Neither CASA nor the department heads will attend any meeting that involves those who dare speak out and state the industry view. No Sir, only the house trained, tame sycophants, willing accomplices, the purblind, the venal and those controllable few who will accept the aberrations as normal are allowed to wallow in the mud, blood and shite pool of CASA delinquency.
Well done P2 (again) I will catch up, once I can safely leave the bucket.
Toot – MTF – toot.
