Could someone please explain how ANY of this benefits safety, performance or capability?
This is typical governmental b@ll@cks. There is only one thing worse than one government agency trying to run a show, and that is dozens of them!
If an Operator or Repair Station created a new Operations or Inspection programme along the lines of any of this ill considered JAR nonsense - they would be shut-down and their certificates REVOKED (by the same agency creating this disaster)!
The people involved have no concept of the real world of Aviation, and sit, removed from the Aviation business, in offices, and attending meetings, surrounded by others of their kind!
I can't believe the total disaster that every part of this regulatory change has become. Every month some equally surprising (alarming?) revelation is gleaned. When is it all going to end?
There appears to be no consideration given to the value of a system that was proven to work. Instead some new layer of beauraucracy is rolled out to replace the proven and competent existing systems that are in use.
In the creation of any new system, considerable attention must be given to the intricacies of the interaction between the various rules, systems and methods. In any new system, there will always be some areas of conflict, and a little time and consideration will need to be taken to realign the necessary components.
It appears though, that the creation and implementation of the JAR system and mechanism has revealed unparalleled and unrivalled levels of incompetence by the parties concerned. I would further suggest that the JAR system would be unable to pass ISO 9002 qualification due to about every conceivable problem that has been observed in every facet of their operation; (tell me they haven't achived ISO certification?)
I can state confidently, that I now understand less about the JAR system now, than a year ago. It is never ending disaster.
Note: This is not a reflection of the people on the receiving (working) end of the regulatory authorities. The systemic failure of this system lies at the very TOP of the organisation, that allowed a system so inherently flawed, to be adopted and implemented.
