Oh dear. Nine months after it was made, CASA is still trying to work out what CEO Directive 16/2004 actually means. (copy here:

Hmmmm. What to do
.. What to do
I know: let's have some training!
Here are some extracts from the notes of the Standard Consultative Committee meeting held on 18 May 2005 (copy here:

4.2 Rowena also noted that a training day for participants involved in the CEO Directive 16/2004 review was foreshadowed at the 16 March SCC meeting. Rowena said that the scope of this training was narrowed down from the prospective 300+ participants to approximately 40 CASA staff.
The focus of the information session will be on safety risk assessment and outcome-based regulation with the aim being to enable a unified view of these issues. Rowena suggested the training would also be extended to the chair of the SCC, the aviation industry Sub-Committee co-chairs and one or two other key personnel to be nominated by the Sub-Committee co-chairs. Rowena stated the outcome of the training day will be captured on a CD so that it can be broadcast widely and used as further information/training to CEO Directive 16 participants. Rowena said the training date is provisionally scheduled for Thursday 2 June 2005 in Canberra. The SCC considered the training day should proceed with priority, and recommended that an overview of the training be provided at the next SCC meeting in August.
Later comment: The training date has been re-set to 5 July 2005 due to unavailability of presenters.
4.3 Rowena noted that work on applying CEO Directive 16/2004 to the maintenance suite of CASRs is temporarily suspended until after the training day has been conducted.
Perhaps we need an action item to develop a plan to forward to the minister about when we plan to have the training day to form a united view about what we were supposed to be doing in the last ten years
