A few years ago CASA decided that Jandakot, despite being the busiest in Australia, wasn't worth the effort; packed their bongos and went away to Perth to look after their beloved fare paying passengers. So I find it hard to believe that they really give a rats about safety here.

Their ignorance of how things work here was displayed at a meeting of CFIs yesterday in regards to a simple airspace issue re the space between the training area and the GAAP zone. So...hardly experts in GAAP procedures Perhaps asking the pilots and ATC who make a living here might have been an idea before this change was made at the stroke of a pen. But hey, what do we know.

In the Ambidji report, on p234 it identifies an "unacceptable" (thier wording) risk at the SIXS/FDL inbound point. So..they bring in a procedure that will increase congestion there when aircraft are denied a clearance into the zone to keep within the cap. I hear this has already been happening.
