Crisis at SA CAA

To ruffusruffcut001

The actual hard evidence is to hand, and available can you guarantee that "it would not loose "its " licence .
What do you think would happen to to the informant who released this infomation if "its" identity got to the CAA I would say no more licence as " it "would be grounded as test after test would be insisted on by our Illustriously unbiased New Boys.

Here is another case again the operators have the hard data

One of the Real Flight Ops Inspectors who was to travel to the US of A to do a Simulator recertification for an Large SA operator in Miami resigne.
He was then refused permission to go to the US to carry out the Sim recertification at the same time another SA Operator required validation of another sim at the same facility.
What happened both operators where in formed that a Certain SA CAA Flight Operations Inspector would be sent to Miami to certify the sims for them.
As this Flight ops Inpector had no US Visa he travelled to Cape town to get the Visa and not to Killarney Johannesburg maybe he though the only Kilarner was in Capetown you never know any way the two operators where in formed taht this little caoper was for their account.
The two operators where then presented with Combined Invoices of R29,000 odd for the proposed trip to Miami for this particular Flight Ops Inspector.
I believe both operators then enquired whether this Flight ops inspector was adequattely Qualified to do the Sim Certification as well to Check the Standard of training for Capt's and FEO's.
This particular Flight Ops Inspector has only a Comm and IF rating and Just over 200 hours. The Flight ops Instpector did not Travel to the USA.

Well you guessed it both Operators have been subjected to massive Inspections one to there maintenance organisation I have been told that this went one for over a week, the other had an incredible operating certificate Inspection, with Flight Ops Inspectors who had only Comm's and the minimum hours to Qualify for those as well.
These are facts and can be verfired by Just Asking the newly appointed ACTING Senior Manager Flight Operations.

Now we know how the SA CAA operates.

How much more can the South African Operators Endure?
