CASA's Aviation Safety Advisory Panel
Can someone please explain to me where in the following group of luminaries the General Aviation sector is represented?
One might ask why we have a CASA Board?
So we have the following:
Can anyone here see where the small business sector of Aviation - the MROs and the General Aviation businesses - are represented on the ASAP?

I would think it fair to say that there are no names on that list that represent current industry expertise.
It is a great list if what you are looking for is the corporate line, but not so great if you want real coalface information.

HAHAHAHAHA no conflict there... No wonder there are only one or two of everything in Australia. Don't you think you muppets have a non independent Government authority. Imagine a third airline trying to get going. Board says "OH surely there not compliant like us "
TOOOO Funny but great to watch. The Socialist Island in the South West Pacific at its best.

There are a handful of long term GA people around who would represent the GA sector very well. Most of the people on the panel represent to the top end of town except for RAAus. Looks politically correct for those in Canberra, however it's realistically dysfunctional as for as GA goes....
What happened to the Flying Training Panel and who was on it?

I suggest that Jim Davis has sufficient runs on the board - GA, Airline flying, and engineering to be of some valid use as a coal face Industry voice.

He also has a massive conflict of interest. Rex Group don't care if there is no GA - Regional people will have to fly REX instead of GA. They don't care if there is no GA - they have built their own flight training college. In fact, the pushing of GA training into RAAus and GA Charter into oblivion both directly financially benefit REX Group.

Perhaps, but the potential for conflict does not always, or necessarily, result in conflict or inappropriate actions. Quite some years since he and I have rubbed shoulders (and we go back to the early 70s) but I have to say that I would be very disappointed to find that his integrity doesn't permit the potential for conflict to be managed appropriately.
