This is currently happening:
Senate estimates and casa answers have just been posted:
In part,
skull throws out scraps to aviation and makes a long and time wasting statement.
So McCormick [24th February 2014] in Senate estimtes says they will now allow DAME's to issue Class 2 certificates [PPL holders].
What a back down.
The questions by Senator Fawcett continues to search for the person responsible for the CVD issues. CASA refuses to answer again.
The Senator has gone to that there are no recorded incidents of CVD problems resolving to accidents over past 20 years.
He asked: "Where is the safety case [for CVD]??" and then calls into doubt McCormick's answer about a US 727 case. McCormick then goes on to obfusicate about some British material [which is academically derived] and what CASA is up to.
McCormick ducks the question again as to a "..valid safety case..", then Senator Fawcett reveals a January letter withdrawing a pilot's certificate on the basis of CVD.
McCormick says he knows nothing about the letter.
Is it not true the "personality is changed, not the actuality" Senator Fawcett asks of McCormick. However, McCormick does not let up at all.
