CASA control the content of AIP.
Air No services Australia (ANsA) makes us pay through the nose and controls the publication and PRICE of AIP.
ANsA tried to get a lowly paid clerical person to EDIT AIP but "the world's second best fighter pilot" got on their six and we had a reasonable service while he was editor.
His successor, paid at a low rate, tried his best to keep AIP in a usable form but the bulldust his bosses were throwing at him combined with the lure of a better paid Regional airline job was jsut too much.
Since then there has been no official AIP editor and it is being proposed that the job go to one of our flightwatch buddies in Brisbane who has redundancy hanging over his/her head when ATC finally take over flightwatch, regardless of the enquiry outcome.
