Latest CASA regulatory reform processes strike opposition from rotorcraft industry
As Australians see one global crisis slowly receding leaving a damaged VTOL industry, it is now alleged by some, another crisis has emerged due to the misunderstandings about the latest regulations being offered by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Despite the best of intentions by our safety regulator, the industry is suggesting the addition of another level of complex regulation may prove be more harmful than the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed new rules are: Part 138 Manual of Standards.
But industry is gathering forces to oppose the Part 138 MOS, especially after CASA’s own Technical Working Group (TWG) rejected the establishment of yet another layer of complex legislation.
However, CASA has opened consultations on the new rules for aerial work operations.
