ATSB not correctly funded - casa overfunded
SUGGESTION 2 for a positive change to go forward in 2012:
Fix ATSB’s funding.
In the recent Senate Committee into ATSB put a submission as submission 25 [
http://www.aph.gov.au/senate/committ...bmissions.htm] for the Senate Inquiry into Pilot Training and Airline Safety Including the Transport Safety Investigation Amendment (Incident Reporting) Bill 2010
It reads in part:
In 2009 – 10 the ATSB received approximately 15 100 notifications through its mandatory accident and incident reporting system (8 393 were classified as safety occurrences). During that period the ATSB had the resources to commence 70 new investigations. Ten safety research and analysis reports were released in this period.
I don't think they are going to get on top of this easily.
The funding issues is great also, which covers all the ATSB marine, aviation and road responsibilities, as shown below
[casa has over $170m]:
