Wow....read the regulators response
CASA issued a Safety Observation due to concerns over ASA having insufficient staff at Sydney TCU. The observation was based on evidence that the Airservices calculated number of staff required was insufficient to continue to provide the service. At the time of surveillance, Sydney TCU had not experienced an interruption to service.
So a breach of the safety regulations is ok because it wasnt seen to be having an impact. Fast forward a few months later.......... (note: inadequate staffing levels is a breach of CASR 172.110) Why wasn't this issued as a safety finding?
Should the matters not be resolved CASA may elevate the issues to enforcement action as outlined within the CASA Enforcement Manual.
When was the last time, if ever, that CASA took meaningful enforcement action aginst AsA?
