And the latest is Part 119 as an appendix to CAO82.
But only the major tuff - SMS and accountability!
What a joke, we will now be getting regulation by CAO, all touch and feely mumbo jumbo works and no substance so it will be up to the individual CASA inspector to "Interpret" as he sees fit! All done to "Risk Management" science!
We already have 2 areas that don't work.
1. Fatigue Management, non descriptive, some work, most don't, but CASA and the Uni of SA still say it is better because it has Science behind it. Risk Managemnet "Science" is a bit like statistics, it can be made to fit an outcome!
2. NAS, non descriptive and no one has any idea what the other aircraft is doing. Prediction: The first mid air involving an RPT aircraft will be in Kununurra! No "Risk Management" involved in the design, only, if it works in the US, then it must be safe! The only "Risk Management" was if it differed from the US design, not the Australian design. I have still not seen any US or freign aircraft flying around Australia for as PVT ops!
This then bring up the question of Cabin Safety. No "Risk Management" science from this department of CASA, just the fundimentalist written word of CAO20.11
Its a wonder they have not mandated fires to be lit inside an aircraft for every candidate on every 20.11 renewal!
CASA cannot get its own house in order, one would have thought that would be its major priority!
5 years ago we had to do everything in line with the new regs!, Well the new regs never eventuated. Now we will have to re-write everything to 119 by CAO.
New people come into CASA from all parts of the world and they wonder why the hostility and dought from the industry. We have heard it all before
