4. There should be a Royal Commission into air safety regulation in Australia, as it has descended to third world standards. Political donations from airlines and aviation companies should be banned.

   The reading of the PelAir report is very similar to the recent Brasilia report from Darwin, where there are just vague references by ATSB to “….changes by the operator, which involve use of a simulator program….hence there won’t be any more problems….”
   ATSB has released a report that takes 3 years and is extremely light weight.
   This report is similar, to the Brasilia one, in that this report identifies systemic problems in CASA surveillance of the operator “……but changes since the accident …..fix the problem …………..”
   It even says that other operators have similar problems when surveyed.
   Surely this goes to the heart of the matter, in that CASA is failing to properly undertake it’s role. We are not looking for “over-the-top” micro-management, but surely, where there are large over-water ops, there needs to be a standard met in this area.
   Remember SeaView – This has some of the same hallmarks.
   This is both for the regulator and the operator
