Wrong. Pilot at YWBS miscalculated fuel and did not dip tanks b4 leaving YHID.The other incident had nothing to do with what you are on about.The engine failed and was subsequently replaced 2 days later.Pilot in first incident at YWBS was terminated.You don`t know what you are talking about best idea for you mind your own business!!!

You're all wrong. Lip Air went into voluntary receivership on Sat. 50 'innocent' employees with kids and mortgages all terminated. All because of an insane vendetta by certain CASA persons with personal agendas to get RL.
Why are they allowed to regulate in the area they previously had commercial ties in? It's guaranteed to create a conflict of interest.
CASA refused to 'approve' anyone to take over the aircraft or pilots from the suspended AOC holder. Read CAO 82.0 para 3 and get an appreciation of the economic power over operators, these people have.
Good luck to the ex employees and to the people of the Torres Straits.

HMMMM Strange.
Seems the application to wind up went in a month ago, two months after getting the previous suspension lifted by the courts. Looks like the decision to close up was made and the machinary put in motion long before the latest action from CASA. I wonder if his staff was aware he had done this.

Looks like the decision was made almost two weeks ago. And it does not appear that decision was voluntary?
COMPANIES ACT 1981 S.459p, 462 or 464 - interesting?
Did the company advise the staff, two weeks ago, that there were problems?
Whatever the story, it is all over. I trust the staff secure their entitlements, history indicates otherwise, and are able to move on in their careers.

Socket,
An application to wind up a company is usually made by a creditor chasing $$$$. This is what occurred over a month ago - it is not a decision by the company to close up.
Appointment of an administrator occurred on the 11th of this month, over a week after the second suspension. This is sign of problems.
I don't know of many private companies that have the capital behind them to keep operating for any period with no income and the high standing costs of aviation.

"This is what occurred over a month ago..."
Or did the company trade insolvent?

Air Ace,
Try the right act - CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 NO. 50, 2001
The sections of the act referred to by the documents lodged suggest it is volunatry administration by the company.

Voluntary receivership was obviously the only way to get the aircraft fleet out of the the CAO 82.0 para 3 block applied by CASA. No safety issue here.
CASA in FNQ, this has happened before. CASA Officers having personal interests in GA companies, anyone remember the Falcon Airlines case back in the mid 90's ?
Not to sure what happens else where around Australia, but CASA in FNQ have had a history of this type of practice for over a decade now.
I really think CASA have a lot to answer for if this is indeed the case, as it's simply not fair.

well you should see the videos the passenger took at Warraber on the day of the incident,from loading to taxi to the failed takeoff attempt to the draining of the fuel from one a/c to another.Whoever the passenger was she certainly knew how to take a damning video.Oh she was on board the aforementioned a/c.Let us see where this takes this sad saga.
