CASA Board

I don't know what Truss was thinking but appointing Ms Taylor to the Board is the equivalent of putting McCormick on it. She is immediate past president of GFA (resigned August 23, 2014) which has a contract with CASA to administer gliding in Australia on a MONOPOLY basis. This makes the GFA CASA as far as gliding is concerned.

Let alone her lack of technical or operational expertise. God help us all!

GFA has also negotiated (on Ms Taylor's watch) with CASA, an ICAO compliant CASA Glider pilot Licence so that Australians can fly overseas including in competitions by having their qualifications recognised by OS countries aviation authorities.

The licence, however isn't valid for use inside Australia. Ya think CASA is the laughing stock of the world's aviation regulators?
