Talking IOS elephant propping up the bar at the LBGYC!

It would appear that McScreamer is testing the waters..here is an excerpt from his latest missive included in the monthly propaganda from Fort Fumble ...
"CASA understands and values the importance of our relationship with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and we {is that a royal "WE"??} have processes in place{ that would be the ubiquitous, behind the scenes Mr ALIU } to ensure the outcomes of the Bureau’s investigations are carefully analysed and appropriate regulatory and safety actions are taken {or ozfuscated as the need is required}. Any steps that can be taken to further {ozfuscate} develop our relationship with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, and other aviation agencies, will be positive both for CASA and further buggerise the aviation safety system."

Hmm ..kind of like saying to the Minister..." WE understand that you've been forced to do this (TASRR) but WE really have it all under control Minister".

However there is the small hurdle of the imminent government response to the Senator's PelAir report/recommendations (IOS elephant ), so in keeping with the theme of the thread here is a gentle reminder of some of those recommendations:
Recommendation 14
7.15 The committee recommends that the ATSB-CASA Memorandum of Understanding be re-drafted to remove any ambiguity in relation to information that should be shared between the agencies in relation to aviation accident investigations, to require CASA to:
  • advise the ATSB of the initiation of any action, audit or review as a result of an accident which the ATSB is investigating.
  • provide the ATSB with the relevant review report as soon as it is available.
Recommendation 15
7.16 The committee recommends that all meetings between the ATSB and CASA, whether formal or informal, where particulars of a given investigation are being discussed be appropriately minuted.


Recommendation 17
9.18 The committee recommends that the ATSB prepare and release publicly a list of all its identified safety issues and the actions which are being taken or have been taken to address them. The ATSB should indicate its progress in monitoring the actions every 6 months and report every 12 months to Parliament.

Recommendation 18
9.40 The committee recommends that where a safety action has not been completed before a report being issued that a recommendation should be made. If it has been completed the report should include details of the action, who was involved and how it was resolved.

Recommendation 19
9.42 The committee recommends that the ATSB review its process to track the implementation of recommendations or safety actions to ensure it is an effective closed loop system. This should be made public, and provided to the Senate Regional and Rural Affairs and Transport Committee prior to each Budget Estimates.

Recommendation 20
9.44 The committee recommends that where the consideration and implementation of an ATSB recommendation may be protracted, the requirement for regular updates (for example 6 monthly) should be included in the TSI Act.

Recommendation 21
9.45 The committee recommends that the government consider setting a time limit for agencies to implement or reject recommendations, beyond which ministerial oversight is required where the agencies concerned must report to the minister why the recommendation has not been implemented or that, with ministerial approval, it has been formally rejected.


OK slight drift...Para377:
As creamy would say 'talk talk talk'. Mi mi mi Beaker and his tautological outcomes, all folly.
It would appear that McScreamer and Beaker are swapping ozfuscation notes..from DAS speech at Clive's dinosaur park...

"The recent claims made by some sections of the industry appear to compare the standby requirements specified in the new CAO 48.1 with foreign regulators’ airport standby arrangements. However, these are two very different concepts, and comparing them is tendentious and misleading."

Err..Minister a leopard does not change its spots!
