Obviously the recency introduced CASA Part 91 and 138 regulations aren’t effective if accidents like this are occurring on our turf, with fully government funded contracts going to foreign operators.
No disrespect to the foreign operator, however the federal and state governments who are funding these high risk aerial work activities are directly accountable for the management and oversight of these contractors, no matter if they are foreign or locally sourced.
Obviously inefficient new regulations, drafted by the experts in Canberra….
So what now, another few million $$$$ of taxpayers money to get another replacement machine onsite, or they just let the fires kill people and devastate taxpayers properties as the aerial firefighting asset is no longer available because it crashed?
