I'm intrigued.........

On December 1, 2006, the ATSB reported:

The ATSB has announced that it will refer Lessbrook Pty Ltd to the Director of Public Prosecutions for its failure over several years to report aviation safety occurrences to the bureau as required by legislation.
On January 13, 2004, CASA reported:

CASA’s chief operating officer, Bruce Gemmell, says the start-up of a new air service in north-west NSW is welcome.

“This is a part of NSW that has been without direct air services for some time, so we wish Big Sky Express the best in its new operation,” Mr Gemmell says.

“I’m pleased to say the Big Sky Express operation meets the appropriate safety standards and CASA will continue to monitor the service to make sure safety is maintained.
The Lockhart River accident was on May 7, 2005.

I presume what is acceptable to CASA is not acceptable to the ATSB???
