Mr Byron says he is also acting to ensure CASA’s inspectors spend more time in the field working with people in the aviation industry.
“CASA is focussing more on helping the industry comply with aviation safety requirements.
“We see the way ahead as a willing partnership in safety between CASA and members of the aviation industry who, at the end of the day, have a duty of care to deliver operational safety.
“I want to extend a mentoring role to CASA’s day-to-day compliance activities and have directed that resources be re-allocated so that from 2004-05 CASA inspectors will have more time in the field.”
Obviously that message hasn't got to CASA FNQ offices yet!
The new AM will need to get in the first hit real fast, 'cause on past record he won't get a second chance to clean up the TL quagmire of iniquity!
