From the workplan:
Industry has told us that the current pilot licensing rules are too complicated, and the availability of instructors and flight examiners causes bottlenecks. We are working on reforms focused on delivering tangible benefits to better support general aviation.
Some of the comments in the workplan summary sound somewhat promising (bearing in mind that words are cheap). It's particularly galling that all the feedback over years only now seems to be getting some traction, and for that, some senior CASA 'specialists' and managers should continue to be dismissed or pressured to leave.
One example that's been communicated to CASA loud and clear ever since Part 61 took effect is the shortcomings of the specialist pilot training route under the CASRs, particularly contributing to the lack of experienced examiners for things like mustering, fire and NVG work. There is no excuse for having not listened and comprehended the ramifications years ago. We can only hope that there are cracks in the impenetrable wall of face-saving now that will actually lead to that oft-abused term, transparency.
