CASA hit and miss

Chopper pilot cleared over claims of beer run flight to Mt Molloy pub in far north Queensland - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-24/chopper-pilot-cleared-over-beer-run-claims/7052768)

Kaz I know the Carbine Mt Molloy area well.
Extremely close knit community.
If you stand quietly and listen you can almost hear the banjos.
People there rarely see what has happened.
The only witness was a man already ostracised by all.
Make of that what you will

Yet again another "botched" CAsA case...and at what cost to the victim ...and the long suffering taxpayer.?:mad:

This is not the only debacle of recent times out of the CNS office/ TVL region..

To let all these major balls-ups get hung out in the public domain nothing short of a Judicial Inquiry will do the job.

There really needs to be a Royal Commission into the whole of CAsA, but that is unlikely to happen. Here in the infamous north is a gold mine for starters :ok:.

J Quadrio is probably the most famous. Also with dubious, dodgy prime witness/es.:mad::mad:

Robinson 22 ASZ /Drummond. Botched ..to put it kindly, actually a seriously deficient half arsed "investigation" where the perp gets let off...and a whole bunch of innocent bystanders end up paying the bill. :mad::mad:

Extraordinary...it reads like a mad criminal comedy script. And who put the US export 2nd hand Robbo on the Oz register 8 years before...non other than ..dadah!... CAsA, the experts. :{

AQX the Wilga. Botched and ongoing yet, and CAsA just will not admit to any wrong- doing, indeed they continue to lie about it.

Some of CAsA people are like rabid rottwiellers with a rotten bone...they just will not let go...regardless of the facts. Regulatory jihadis ...with mean streak.

So much for a "just culture" ! justarse indeed.:eek:

However, because of a breach of flying rules on another flight, which included consuming alcohol, the tribunal upheld CASA's cancellation of the pilot's approval to act as a chief pilot but it allowed him to continue to fly commercially, after a period of suspension, under a series of strict conditions.


So, not totally a hit and miss apparently.
As determined by the independent tribunal.


Now which came first, the pub crawl or the upheld breach? One may have given precedence for the other.

More to it than it seems to me.

indeed there is... but the IGP/ignorant general public wont get to know about it.
CAsa plays its dirty cards/tricks close to the chest, much would be kept "in house":mad::mad: or not even see the light of day at the AAT

Once the 'beer flight' allegation was made, and if anything was looking a bit 'sus'...CAsA would be hunting, fishing and digging up any other old stuff available to further heap sh*t on the target and make their case...dont you worry about that.!

As the thread title says ..Hit and miss. At least he's got his licence (unlike JQ), hasnt totally lost his livelihood (as JQ did) and got done for the other. And CAsA will see it as all good because the pilot has had to spend mega bucks in defence. A fine AND a BIG bill.

And the overall cost to the taxpayer was ???:{

Will the person who made the false allegations now be dealt with in a court of law I wonder?. Doubt it, from earlier records. NO

But CAsA will be plenty p*ssed at all the good newspaper publicity they got out of their brilliant 2 year "investigation"

Needs to be a LOT MORE of it. There's many more stories out there in the Naked City
