Can someone please explain to me where in the following group of luminaries the General Aviation sector is represented?
The Aviation Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) is the primary advisory body through which CASA directs its engagement with industry and seeks input on current and future regulatory and associated policy approaches.The ASAP provides CASA's CEO and Director of Aviation Safety with informed, objective high-level advice from the aviation community on current, emerging and potential issues that have, or may have, significant implications for aviation safety and the way CASA performs its functions.
One might ask why we have a CASA Board?
Professor Pat Murray, University of Southern Queensland is the independent Chair of the ASAP.
The current members of the ASAP are:
- Mr Rob Sharp
- Mr John Gissing
- Ms Caroline Wilkie
- Mr Greg Russell
- Mr Jim Davis
- Mr Michael Monck
The Group Manager, Aviation Group and Group Manager, Stakeholder Engagement Group will represent CASA.
So we have the following:
- Professor Pat Murray - "Independent" chair but also heads up a major Sim center in Brisbane;
- Mr Rob Sharp - Group Executive, Virgin Australia
- Mr John Gissing - Group Executive at Qantas
- Ms Caroline Wilkie - CEO at the Australian Airports Assoc
- Mr Greg Russell - Former CEO of Airservices Australia
- Mr Jim Davis - Director and MD of the Rex Group and Chari of the RAAA
- Mr Michael Monck - Chair of RAAus
Can anyone here see where the small business sector of Aviation - the MROs and the General Aviation businesses - are represented on the ASAP?
