What else should CASA do when an applicant for a document achieves the
requirement to hold that document? Add further requirements because you want to.
I was issued my AME licence when I reached the minimum requirements, using your
logic I shouldn't have been
The Minimum requirements for CP for that type of operation is 1000hours including 200 in command of M/E. 12 Months experience in commercial operations. Maybe that type of experience is acceptable for a 1 or 2 plane operation but when you are looking at operations where 15-20 low time pilots are going to be placed under your command and a fleet of up to 15-20 aircraftdo you really thisnk that is acceptable. Would you consider your experience as a maintainer after 12 months in the industry would have been sufficient for you to take on the role of Chief Engineer with 15-20 apprentice AMEs working under you??
According to table A in CAO 82: 2000 hours and 400 command on M/E for which 2 or more flight crew are required and 2 years industry experience is all that is needed to become CP of QANTAS. Hey might put in my app when I hit those minimums, you reckon I should get the job?
Gday Baron Beeza, in what way could they have acted earlier?
It has been widely known for quite some time about some of the antics that have been going on in that place. Posted almost 12 months ago.
Now it is time for CASA to start getting serious about making aviation in the
kimberlies a safer place. All they would have to do is seek out some of the ex
CPs and pilots that have worked there in the last 3 years. Some of the stories
they could tell...
