This is off topic but Whagi Warrior you are dead right. There are foreign operators turning up in droves with machines and going to work - they know the PNGCASA is defunct, broke and overwhelmed. There is no one overseeing rotary aircraft. Some of these operators have crashed their machines on the first job and just bolted. No consequences. No follow up. Getting out of control.
There are existing long term PNG operators/owners who are taking advantage of the lack of direction and manpower at PNGCASA and trying to ram home their own agenda's & get machines that have no where near the correct maintenace programs/part tracking to be accepted onto the register.
