CASA management has been sleepwalking while SOAR has been operating. The Stawell accident should have been the end of SOAR, but no, CASA prevaricates and allows the organisation to continue operating.
And surprise, surprise, yet another recent accident with serious injuries at Moorabbin, but CASA chose an easier target and ruined an operator who made every attempt at compliance.
It seems that this organisation has the capacity to defend the indefensible. Public accountability and responsibility indeed has fallen by the wayside.
