I am reading this new poo.
this has me intrigued....
the way I read this CASA can do what it wants. ...MAY...
but if CASA hasnt told the student... just how are they expected to know?
the student has in their mind that they are a student. they are off doing the flying training unaware of CASA's embuggerance.
so CASA may or may not advise the student but the student is victim to a 50 point penalty if CASA hasnt told them.
if CASA hasnt told them how would they know???
when will we see penalties of strict liability for CASA stuffing up????
this has me intrigued....
61.117 Identity checks—student pilots
(1) CASA may, by written notice given to a student pilot, require the student pilot to provide evidence of his or her identity in accordance with paragraph 6.57(1)(a) of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005.
(2) The student pilot commits an offence if:
(a) CASA has not told the student pilot, in writing, that he or she has complied with the requirement; and
(b) the student pilots an aircraft.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
(3) An offence against this regulation is an offence of strict liability

casa is out of touch with the Aviation Industry
Here is another little gem 
:
The one I like best is:
and how does this work??
:
Key benefits of the new regulations
- International Harmonisation: operating under regulations that are designed to enhance aviation safety and align the Australian legislation with modern international regulatory practices will maintain and improve Australia’s international competitiveness in the aviation industry.
- Higher standards: increased flexibility & responsibility.
- Reduction of cost to industry, if regulatory compliance is maintained.
- An instrumental role in maintaining and improving Australia’s international competitiveness in the aviation industry.
- Market growth for regulation 30 organisations deciding to become CASR Part 42, 145 or 147 organisations.
- For licensed aircraft maintenance engineer, provision of a perpetual license means lower costs.
- Implementation of competency based training for Part 66 licensing an ICAO and government standard
- Enhancement of aviation safety through human factors and Safety Management Systems.
- Greater clarity around the nature of 'safe standards'.

That is complete BULLSH!T and JMac knows it. The reason I know he knows it is he has been told and told and told, directly, by many.
So someone is peddling spin from within and he is publishing it.

So if he’s intelligent and he knows that what he’s saying is bullsh*t, I can come to only one conclusion about his character.
I’m on the edge my seat. 
Will they turn out introverted or will they turn out extraverted?
It's all very Orwellian. Do you think they could find anyone who actually believes this vacuous twaddle about the 'new' (1998) regulations any more?

No Sir, we regret you cannot bring wabbits or catamites into this establishment. Taxi miniscule? - anyone else?. What part of bugger off needs a 16 page explanation; please tell me, I'll draft it" : immediately.......Jack nailed it though on another thread.
CJ - Lucky he wasn't in a deep sleep and having a dream about Miranda Kerr, 2 goats, a drum of baby oil and a Twister mat!! Cleaners to bay 4 please!!
Off the topic slightly, I noticed that CASA are trying to hire a couple of FOIs, one in CBR and the other in MEL After a quik review of what the requirements are I am somewhat confused as to how they can expect to attract any suitable applicants with what they have on offer, especially for the job in MEL. I recon they are at least 50K short if not more on what a person with the quals in an airline would be getting, even from a budget airline. I also get the felling that the MEL position may have been re advertised as I seem to recall a very similar position being advertised late last year.
Question is, if they don't get suitable applicants, who do they hire? Not being judgemental, just curious as to how they fill these positions if they can't match what's being paid outside.

Oink
Duck Pilot, I'm not sure exactly which FOI position you refer, but on average the FOI's make around $140k base (some long termers are on a lot more) Add to that around $30k for endorsements, Monday - Friday roster, 15.75% super, daily away allowances, and a host of other trimmings and you end up with packages that would in most cases equal or exceed Tiger, JQ, Cobham, QLink, maybe VA F/O etc. Trimmings include internally (taxpayer) funded education courses, conferences, and potential career progression into senior management roles that range from $200k average up to $300/$400 k plus.
Cheers

Actually, the brudders gave it the correct term:.. 'sit down' money.
If true- and I have no reason to doubt it because CASA do dole out type ratings - what are the criteria? Experience on similar types? Probable time to retirement?
Does the recipient enter into a bond for return of service. Fark, no, they do not!
More than one FOI has grabbed an expensive rating then sloped off after an indecently short time.
Old boy network indeed. Questions need to be asked, but who to ask them?

Update for Duck Pilot - "The trough Part 2", I smell bacon!
DP, I forgot to add the use of Comcars is included, you get a supplied and paid for mobile phone and laptop, and a corporate credit card (to be used cautiously). You keep all frequent flyer points earned and you receive a uniform (Jackboots and night truncheon not included).
And of course most offices are in standard government top shelf condition with ergonomic chairs, height adjustable desks, air conditioning, showers, lunchrooms with every trimming and of course the all important pot plants!!
You get all public holidays off, 5 weeks anal leave per year, and here is a tasty fiddle for you that not many know about - As part of your employment agreement you supposedly work an extra 1 hour per week approximately (hahaha yeah right, biggest snow job on record that one), that way at Xmas time you get the days off between the public holidays, CAsA shut down and everybody relaxes for 10 days at home at the taxpayers expense!!!
So Duck Pilot, should you be successful with your application you will need to (oink oink) change your Pprune handle to 'Pig Pilot' old son!
Now, get your CV ready and go forth and conquer, there is a whole world of public service extravagance awaiting you

Thanks for enlighting me even further CJ! I would imagine most of the T&Cs are aligned closely with other government departments.
The use of a Comcar though? That's a new one, is that Oz wide or only in Canberra and maybe the major cities and only obviously on OCB?

A380 ratings
Rumour, Rumour, Rumour
Was there an A380 rating for a senior casa employee allowed for and paid for recently??
What is the basis for ratings being paid for by casa??
How does casa relate pay grade to the payment for a rating??
Does casa use the ratings in assessment in all cases where a rating has been paid for??
How many years before retirement were the last A380 ratings paid for by casa??
Just questions, Just questions

Unsuitable ones, of course, as the ranks of FOIs ( and AWIs) illustrate.
For the good guys in the FOI ranks (Yes!!, there are, unbelievably, still some left) it must be very embarrassing to be lumped in with the seriously dud ones.
Tootle pip!!

The latest McComick
Well McComick - In September 2008 a helicopter pilot was filmed in a YouTube clip, with casa dropping the case due to the CDPP advice in July 2010.
However, casa continued into the AAT [in mid-2011], where the accused Mr. Quadrio did not admit any guilt.
He was in fact admonished by the member for "not owning up".
The member who admitted he knew the casa "expert", but did not recuse himself.
The prime casa witness was a "Coglan", the same one as below [which appeared in the Cairns Post on 22nd February 2014], whose statement did not even state the same place for the flight as the casa "show-cause notice":
