Does anyone know what CASA is specifying as deficiencies?
Is it purely based upon PNG CAA's inability to audit ANG etc, or does it relate to particular technical inadequacies or ANG a/c or crews, etc. (i.e. EGPWS, Chapter 2/3 noise......)?
Heard gossip that PNG CAA's FOIs don't have the budget or equipment to do proper checks or audits, and some are concerned for their jobs. (perhaps afraid to upset the operators in case they need employment therein?).
Very sad for ANG and the other intl AOC operators in PNG affected, (Hevilift's EMB120, Transair's Citation etc one presumes).
Independence was 1975 - its taken 27 years under local control to reach this point. Just hope the Pollies have the concern and where with all to sort it out.
Any clues.....
