Don't forget, the Senate inquiry was the one that ...discovered... the following:
1. Failure by PelAir to 20.11 the crew;
2. That the life-jackets mal-functioned;
3. That the PelAir fuel management strategy was flawed;
4. atsb and casa's refusal to raise the CVR and FDR
AND:
4. casa covered up it's failings through the non-declared "chambers report" [aka chamberpot report];
THEN:
The Senate, among it's 26 reccomendations, and other findings, went to a likely breach by casa ["The Skull"] of the TSI [Transport Safety Investigation Act, by not passing information to beaker's atsb.
This is a serious matter, that mrdak [Minister's response to PelAir Inquiry] advised the Minister to "brush-off", thinking it was all "....going to go away...".
I am sure that
the Senators have quite a different idea and will ensure that the matter goes to it's proper finality and in a short time-frame:
- A proper re-work and re-structure of the Aviation Acts;
- Introduction of the US-FAR's
