casa and non-compliance with ICAO
Good reference HMHB. Only 2600 non-compliances!!
Look at this section and apply it to the current ATSB report into the use of mobile phones during the approach of the 220 seat jet and see if casa complies:
How many are going to die Mr. casa????
Before you get it right.
Look at this section and apply it to the current ATSB report into the use of mobile phones during the approach of the 220 seat jet and see if casa complies:
3.7.2 In the area of aircraft operations, surveillance is conducted based on guidance provided in CASA’s Surveillance Procedures Manual and through the CASA Regulatory Oversight System (CROS), which is defined through a comprehensive set of systems and elements containing data collection tools and audit worksheets. Under the CROS concept, the emphasis for surveillance planning is based upon a combination of data analysis and risk assessments. CROS provides systems attributes, which can be broken down into components and sub-components to facilitate evaluation. CASA inspectorate staff verifies the legislative compliance of an AOC or Permission holder and evaluates the performance of the compliance assurance systems that an AOC or Permission holder has put in place to manage risks. CASA’s systems approach leads air operators to assume higher levels of responsibility for safety, while working to keep operational risk as low as reasonably practicable. The types of surveillance undertaken through the CROS concept include scheduled audits, operational surveillance, scheduled audit replacement, special audits, and spot checks. Surveillance planning is based on risk analysis for each AOC. The plan is reviewed annually and forms the basis for the surveillance programme. A monthly planning review reassesses the surveillance plan, with particular attention to identifying overdue inspections, upcoming scheduled surveillance, and planning and identifying special audits and spot checks. CASA does not conduct planned surveillance programme activities for the observation of individuals delegated to perform tasks, such as flight proficiency checks, on behalf of CASA.

Rights and wrongs.
TB- their SOP had grown to around 700 pages.
TB - I heard when PNG was presented with it they said WTF!!!...what's wrong with the flight Manual.
HMHB - That link and the UITA extract now owes me a coffee, I couldn't stomach mine after reading that self aggrandising, smug, duplicatus cop out. Talk about wriggle room, perhaps they'll have a class on it. They surely have the expertise to teach it. YUK.
UITA How many are going to die
GD – Thankyou for changing the picture, placid, neutered quietly munching pigs is somehow much more aesthetically pleasing than a rear view of male pigs fighting to get into a trough.

Unsafe skies for all
Wow, 2600 non-compliances, what a 'robust' organization!
So it would appear the foundation of CASA's activities are based on the 'Holy SPM'? Interesting considering that manual was slapped together about a decade ago, hardly any Inspector uses it because it is outdated, messy and pretty much a piece of pony pooh, just ask the frontline staff.
It has been tampered with several times over the years and on numerous occasions it has been planned to be re-written but nothing ever comes of it.
It is absolutely obvious that this bureaucracy is completely deficient at oversighting passenger and operational safety. In it's current format they are past their use by date. The holes in the cheese keep getting bigger and the regulator keeps getting bogged down in fancy ass covering speech and wankery of epic proportions.
Ask yourself how a Minister who's only aviation experience is finding the chairmanship lounge, a CASA Board of bureaucrats and lawyers, and a team of Directors which consists of individuals who haven't touched a plane in 20 years and lawyers who have simply never touched a plane could possibly understand what actually happens in the aviation real world?
Tick tock tick tock

Untitled - of little consequence.
FA - Parrot nearly live in my head after hit by balus.
Confucius say – better parrot in head than fundamental orifice; this excellent remedy for assisting in the engaging of brain before opening gob and the prevention of dribbling.
Provided, without advertisement, in defense of all educated, articulate parrots who rarely; if ever, dribble.

TB - So that where the old saying "Talking out his a...s" comes from
I do believe that back in the old times, speaking in tongues, (especially to y'self) got ya burned at the stake. Silly when you think about it, just shut up and; no one knows who you talk to.

The article "why are the big banks getting off scot- free?" www.salon.com/2011/08/08 suggests to me what happened in the GFC and is still happening in its aftermath applies to a huge range of vastly different sectors and worldwide

Snakes and Ladders movement
As GD rightly predicted there have been some movements in the organisation chart on the website. A couple of names have disappeared from the exec level. The former head of operations being one, or did I miss his new post?

When does The Director of Aviation Safety's tenure expire?
Are any of the missing due to contracts who may have also reached "use by" date.

The Screaming Skull has a 4 year tenure and he has around 12 months left to go. The word in 'other' high places is that he is 'walking the green mile'.
The problem is this - ultimately he is the fall guy for the failings of the place, which is fair enough, not many will lose sleep over that.
But if you want to really clean house you have to get rid of the Board as well. Their total achievement or worth to date - zilch.
And don't forget The Skull is surrounded by long a Director and Associate Director who have a combined 30 years experience between the two of them
within CASA. Now combine that with CASA's achievements over the past 20 years including almost a quarter of a century of an uncompleted regulatory reform program and you begin to see an interesting picture don't you think? I will leave it up to you to decide how much value they have added in comparison to how much taxpayer money has gone into sustaining their existence.
Oh yeah, don't worry about the Minister, he too has about a year to go, once the election is called he is finished.
As for the EM of Operations he is still around, moved to another section to try and fix all of it's issues.

CASA Chess Game
You mean shifted elsewhere to spin the hype! He has been replaced by another ATC specialist! How about a pilot or engineer to run operations?? Did you ever realise the only difference between " lolly pop" road traffic controllers and ATC is the word "Air"!!! next time you pull up at roadworks, think about it. Thats who's running Operation in CASA!

Brown lollipops for all
Oh Jinglie, you naughty boy taunting Air Services folk!
I think you are being very harsh on 'lollipop road traffic controllers'. You see roadside stop/go controllers work much much harder than CASA folks. Plus many of those roadside workers are far better educated also!
But then again the 'lollipop road work controllers' and the boys on the shovels share a number of traits with the CASA brotherhood;
1. They have all mastered the art of looking busy while achieving naught.
2. They tend to congregate as a group to give the visual effect of taxpayer money being used wisely on an important program. Tsk tsk tsk we know better Mr CASA!
3. They all take a minimum of 2 hours for lunch then piss off home around 1500.
4. They are all hybrid offspring of some medieval demon that mated with a human being centuries ago. This in turn saw the birth of Tasmaninans, the Irish and the public servant.
5. Neither department can repair anything without spending millions on consultants. Then when they do attempt to fix their individual problems they ultimately and without fail turn into far greater clusterf#cks than the original problem!
6. They all spen the day digging holes they can't get out of.
7. They both wear spiffy reflective safety vests. Safety first!
8. Both organizations employ overpaid managers who never get their hands dirty. These same managers are normally employed by mates and have no actual skill, credentials, ability or in the majority of cases any balls.
9. Both are unable to complete projects on time, within budget or without having to return at a later date to repair the work they ultimately buggered up.
10. Both stand within their own work environment every day up to their knees in ****e.
To be con't

. .. . watch it! ..... the Tasmanoids will get annoyed. . . .. the next will get their Irish up . .. . . . and as for the clowns in the public circus, that's OK, 'cause they won't be slappin' on no war paint in a hurry.

Senate Estimates
Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport (Program to be provided)
Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry: Monday, 21 May and Tuesday, 22 May 2012
Infrastructure and Transport: Wednesday, 23 May 2012
Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport: Thursday, 24 May 2012
We have the budget first but later this month another exciting installment of senate estimates.
Perhaps they will be asked about recent movements and one exec walking out, the pace or regulatory reform, or why not ask why they can't just copy the FAA or EASA rules and be done with it.
Any other questions you'd like the senators to ask?

I understand from rumour that the skull will depart shortly before his tenure expires. This may be a question for anybody interested to persue.
After all, PPRune is a rumour network.

Senate estimates inbound, take a right turn and reduce speed
Don't get to excited about rumors of The Skull bailing before the full time whistle blows. His likely replacement would be the Voodoo Witch Doctor or the near 70 geriatric. Not a pretty choice combined with a Board made up of more lawyers and senior bureaucrats with decades of spin and bulsh#tting experience!
It is pointless pulling one or two bricks out of the 'CAA' wall (CAA is now what I call CASA, ask Frank he will explain!). You need a stick of gelignite to blast the entire wall into next century. Start from scratch, hell maybe even bring in some aviation experts and build a solid safety oversighting authority.
The Senators must have a ball, every month that goes by sees an even worse level of incompetence, acts of malfeasance and incredible levels of stupidity and assclownery that makes you shudder!
Perhaps labor will sit on it's hands a bit longer, why make work for themselves now, considering Slugger and friends will be in government next year?
Or will the Carbon Queen use the CAA as an example and 'meddle with it' to try and gain political points? After all, Albo is a supporter of Kevvy so maybe she will roll him? Unlikely I imagine.
So what will Senators Nick, Heff and maybe Cameron probe the CAA about later this month? Perhaps some of the following developments in just the past
few months in particular;
• The farcical training center.
• The ongoing safety issues within Air Services.
• Perhaps the alleged dodgy software dealings by a highly positioned member of the CAA third reich.
• The sudden resignation of the S.O.B departments EM, and the TRUE reason behind it.
• The ongoing failure if the 23 year regulatory reform program.
• Internal rumblings and threats of industrial action by Inspectors over issues with HR and IR.
• The poorly rolled out CMT debacle which incidentally has not been explained in detail to industry as it was rushed through so as to get senior management a 'tick in the box'.
• Ongoing fatigue and safety issues with certain HICAP operators that simply
seem to escape Fort Fumbles attention week after week.
• More musical chairs, shuffling, departures and assorted mischief.
This should keep Nick busy for a little while, these are just starting points. I am sure a robust senate estimates would be enlightening and entertaining. I wonder if the executive management trough dwellers will have their ludicrous remuneration curtailed finally and all bonuses stripped once and for all. Hopefully that little point won't be overlooked as the CAA put out their palms and hope to have them handsomely greased for the coming financial year.
I think we should start a 'suggestion box' on what taxpayer funded waste should be stripped away from the CAA trough altogether for 2012/2013 and beyond?
For beginners:
• I would start with removing the multiple trips to Montreal.
• All business class international air travel removed.
• All bonuses removed.
• Scale back executive numbers and salaries.
• Introduce individual accountability for all actions for all employees at all levels.
• International 'work studies' and funding for the gravy train removed.
• Remove all 'consultant mates' currently in the books.
• Overhaul of internal HR and IR departments.
• Independant investigation of all CAA activities, contracts, consultant use, projects, finance, people movements (hiring and firing), written reports, legal activity, prosecutions, promotions, pretty much anything and everything this
has done in let's say the past 5 years.
Feel free to add...

Easyology.
4 Steps to Nirvana. Simple solution for a simple problem.
1) Employ a three man panel of independent industry experts.
2) Call for statutory declarations from industry.
3) Panel presents a report to the Senate within 3 months.
4) Issue additional arrest warrants as required.
Then the Senate then only need worry about restoring civil liberties under a new Act and allotting suitable compensation.
Works for me.
