Top stuff Ziggy!
Perhaps we could provide you a summary of the findings of the Senate AAI inquiry and you could ask the question whether the Norfolk ditching investigation/report was conducted in accordance with ‘world’s best practice’ and in compliance to ICAO?
Biccy yeah mate Xmas eve it was…seem to recall this was discussed on here way, way, way back….
OK back to the FAA/ICAO NCNs and I think we have more than enough evidence at hand to prove that DOIT, FF and co have got a long way to go before they are compliant with NCN AGA/05.
So onwards and upwards (working bottom to top) on the list of NCNs where we see this one:
Note the implementation date was 31 January 2010, so did it happen?
Tracking CASR 139 and changes
implemented, there was an amendment on 7 December 2011 that might be
relevant??
Note: Point of interest when you click on the FF proposed changes to CASR 139 it comes up with a blank page…sort of symbolic really of the RRP!
So maybe?? However only part of the amendment is in context to the NCN and only applies to aerodromes that have approved
“Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems”and not to aerodromes generally. The FAA comment on proposed action was also quite revealing and critical hinting at a…
“not entirely happy Jan”!
The corrective action plan submitted by the State partially addresses this ICAO finding and recommendation. The State has not addressed the need for the assessment and effectiveness of aerodrome information markings with the aerodrome operators.
Even though FF didn’t indicate that they were going to notify a difference to Annex 14 maybe it’s worth checking in
SUP H12/11 page 67-77.
Although there is a vast quantity of notified differences to Annex 14
, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of “
assessment and effectiveness of aerodrome information markings”.
So I guess the jury is still out on whether this NCN has been adequately addressed. Although I suppose it is not beyond the realms of possibility to believe that FF have still got this matter under review (since the 31 January 2010).
Doin a Kelpie before more climbing of Mount NCN!
