NOTICE TO CHIEF PILOT
DURING CASA OBSERVATIONS OF ANNUAL FLIGHT TRAINING BEFORE DELIVERY SERVICES COMMENCED OUR INSPECTORS NOTICED THAT YOUR PILOT, MR S. CLAUS, WAS:
1. NOT WEARING THE APPROVED HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING SPECIFIED UNDER THE ACT. RED HAT AND SHINY BLACK BOOTS DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE CURRENT AUSTRALIAN STANDARD FOR HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING FOR PROFESSIONAL USE: AS/NZS 4602:1999
2. CARRIAGE OF ANIMALS ON A COMMERCIAL FLIGHT. LEATHER HARNESSES WITH BELLS WERE NOT FITTED WITH MUZZLES AND ABSORBENT MATS, AS REQUIRED UNDER AUSTRALIA'S AVIATION SAFETY STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS, NAMELY CAR 256a
3. NON APPROVED FREIGHT NETTING WAS APPLIED TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF ON BOARD FREIGHT - SPECIFICALLY ONE SACK DOES NOT AN APPROVED FREIGHT NET MAKE!
IN CONSEQUENCE, UNTIL COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE REGULATIONS CAN BE PROVEN, APPROVAL TO OPERATE WITHIN AUSTRALIAN AIRSPACE IS DENIED.
CASA IS, HOWEVER, COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS AND WILL FAST TRACK SUBSEQUENT REQUIRED INSPECTIONS TO ENABLE NORTH POLE DELIVERY AIR SERVICES TO UNDERTAKE NORMAL OPERATIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AS SUCH, INSPECTORS WILL RETURN FROM END OF YEAR HOLIDAYS IN FEBRUARY AND WILL ACCEPT AN APPLICATION FOR FURTHER INSPECTIONS AT THAT TIME.
CASA - WE'RE NOT HAPPY UNTIL YOU'RE NOT HAPPY.
