Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) director of aviation safety Mark Skidmore says a set of new key principles will make a “real, positive and lasting difference” to the regulator’s dealings with the aviation community.As part of its response to the (ASRR), Australia’s aviation safety watchdog has published a list of 10 key principles that will guide and direct its approach to regulation.
These included a commitment to maintaining the trust and respect of the aviation community, as well as taking a consultative and collaborative approach to developing policies, having safety as the most important consideration, and a risk-based approach to regulatory action and decision-making, among others.
Skidmore said the new regulatory philosophy was “clear and concise set or principles that would guide all our actions” and sharpen the focus on how and how well CASA did its job.The director of aviation safety said CASA would, where necessary, develop new policies and procedures to give “meaningful effect to our regulatory philosophy”.“I am committed to ensuring these principles make a real, positive and lasting difference to the way CASA operates and way we interact with the aviation community,” Skidmore said in a statement on Wednesday.
“I understand some people may be sceptical at first about how or whether these principles will make a practical change to the way we carry out our regulatory responsibilities.“To regain trust, we must earn that trust. We look forward to the opportunity to do just that, and I invite the aviation community to use CASA’s regulatory philosophy as a benchmark against which our performance is measured.

Just an observation, but every time I hear a politician or see a government bit of spin where they say something like the above "
real, positive and lasting difference" I can't escape thinking "weasel words"... what is the alternative... "fake, positive and lasting difference"... notice how all government has this "REAL" in the front of everything. Is it perhaps because they are so completely full of excrement that they HAVE to put "real" on the front of everything because they are trying to emphasise that it's not... um... 'not real'??? The word shouldn't be there, but politicians never say they are creating change, they always say 'real change'... so anything as I said that comes from the government that starts with 'real' makes me think it's not real at all (and that's before they even get to the other annoying favorites such as 'the existing cohort' (most overused word lately) or 'working in the industry space'...
