Interesting to note that in the minutes from the CASA Standards Consultative Committee meeting held 4 July
2012, it was stated:
John McCormick, CASA Director of Aviation Safety remarked that he is cognisant of the burden on industry to keep up with change. He reported that at the recent Senate Inquiry, the recommendation was to
accelerate Parts 61, 141 and 142 – to introduce these by the end of the year. To continue, John stated that CASA has gained significant momentum over the last few years with the establishment of the Aviation Regulation Task Force, which was formed in concert with the Attorney General’s Department and that he was loathe to disrupt this demonstrably successful initiative. However, John said, CASA can and will moderate the commencement date of the new regulation suites and develop savings provisions as necessary as the amount of transition that is required by the industry is assessed with the overriding caveat that many of the remaining
regulatory parts must be introduced and implemented as one package, they cannot viably stand-alone.
