Phil was the great quiet achiever of CASA. He single-handedly drove the development of all the competency standards for a range of flying licences and ratings when few others knew how or cared, and has probably contributed more towards the future of basic flying standards and training in this country than any of his peirs. I had many dealings with him over the years in his work to set measurable standards in aviation, and he was every bit the gentleman that has been said so far in this forum, very considerate to all, professional, friendly, genuine and was a real asset as a CASA rep. I will miss him. Gone to a better place now.
