Been following this farscical situation for the past couple of years.
It appears this situation would not have gone on for so long if the authorities who control parachuting, namely the Australian Parachuting Federation, had acted in a responsible manner and taken action to make sure this operator kept to the rules and regulations.
No action on this cash cow has allowed it to blow out of control.
CASA have issued show cause notices recently to McWilliam, Bayley and Skydive City.
When will CASA issue a show cause to the APF who have not acted within the charter that CASA issued to allow them to control parachuting.
The APF sit back and watch. It will be interesting to find out in a couple of weeks if they support the action of CASA in banning parachuting within 3 miles of the BH airport, and the banning of McWilliam, Bayley and Skydive City from parachuting in Australia.
Surely parachuting will never be the same again because of the actions of McWilliam and Co. and the non action by the APF, but the APF cannot blame anyone but themselves.
The current officers of the APF should pack up and get out, as they have shown they are not able to administer parachuting within the charter they have been given by CASA.
I continue to watch with interest.
