Asic / Msic.
Folks,
Have any of you asked why your ASIC is valid for two years and the MSIC (Marine) which I hold is valid for five?
I know ships are slower than aircraft but ?????!!!!!!!................

There's no need to ask dmussen, we know why. Its all about ripping the most money from us as possible, renewal fees every 2 years instead of 5... you bet!
I bet the MISC would be every 2 years if they introduced it today. (Either that or pilots don't have a strong union to stand up for them and demand 5 year renewals!)

ABX,
Try telling everyone to Jack Up with DOTARS or whatever they call themselves these days. Parity is hard to argue against. Keep the basta#ds honest.

My 10 cents!
I used Aviation ID again last year for a renewal. Posted the papers 30 Nov, received new ASIC before Christmas.
Good service in 2005 and again in 2007.
cheers,
Nivo

Posted my application today, for an INITIAL ISSUE.
Race you to the finish.................................
Mine should be easy, I have allready been cheked by the FEDS for Child Abuse, before I could become a volunteer driver for the local community.
Yesterday (after 10 days) I got my TOW TRUCK drivers authority, that means I am NOT A STANDOVER THUG.
Surely THEY will let me on the other side of the airport fence to DRIVE an aeroplane. We will see.

3 months to get a heavy vehicle DG licence security check. Being the current holder of an ASIC cuts no ice. Security check for DG licence valid for 3 years ASIC valid for 2 years

ASIC - the greatest con job
I will say it again for the people that missed it....21 million PASSENGERS carted into and out of AUSTRALIA last year by the BIGGEST PLANES that make the BIGGEST HOLES......NO ASIC...NO AFP CHECK...NO ASIO CHECK...NO DOTARS CHECK...NO CASA CHECK....NO $$$$$$$$$$$$
..just a plain simple COMPANY issued $5 ID card of any shape or form....
who is being conned....you !!!!!

WELL - having reviewed the posts I suspect we missed the implications which makes the CASA Vs ID Australia argument irrelevant.
Couple of weeks ago 185skywagon suggested ID Australia might handle ALL the actual processing so that CASA was no more than a postal drop.
I sent my application to CASA. On Jan 7th my credit card was debitd $186.00, today my account shows it was debited to...Aviation ID Australia!
So when I get the card will it be in an ID Australia envelope?... or have CASA just given ID Australia a couple of boxes of CASA envelopes and said "go for it?"
Or in the best traditions of bureaucracy will it physically pass through the hands of CASA at both the start....and finish??
Any bets on the last option??

Issuing ASICs was never CASAs core business. It was probably lumped on them by the then DOTARS becuase CASA was seen as the organisation best able to service the pilot fraternity. The legendary farcical initial round of ASICs issued by them with the assistance of Chubb Security clearly showed they were not up to it and probably haven't been since.
For the sake of simplicity, CASA should just say - we are no longer an issuing authority and refer all pilots who would normally use them on to AviationID Australia. Remaining as a "middle man" in the applicaton process is only going to cause more delays, be more expensive and make things much more complicated than they really have to be.
The cost could be brought down significantly if Auscheck would, as previously suggested, make the clearances valid for 3 or even 5 years. They tend to waste a lot of time and money generating unnecessary paperwork and their much touted online system is still not up and running after it was hacked into about a week before launch date last August.

Here is an idea....walk in and apply for a renewal...they type your customer number into a database and if the screen doesn't turn red you're issued with a new one for $20 which you exchange on the spot for your old one.
A renewal should not be any more complicated than renewing your drivers license...try that with 13 points/$1000 in outstanding traffic 'terrorism'.

MMM-i told you so!!
Conspiracy theories abound.
I told you last year if it costs $150-00 for a worthless bit of plastic.
What will the price be in 10 ?.

Thanks Casa?
Politically incorrect information brought to you by the nice people at lets destroy all aviation in Aus.
Shortened - AKA - CASA

A indication of progress?
I was having a think about how quick it could be done assuming an issuing authority had their own machine and sufficient staff to deal with applications as they were recieved. Assuming 2 days for mail each way for applicaton and return of card, AUSCHECK clearance, document administration I would be surpised if it could be done in under 2 weeks. Given the relative few that have the printing machines is a major factor that slows the process even those that do, like Aviation ID australia, are probably overwhlemed with the workload.
Chimbu's comment about the renewal being a simple database check is spot on but we will have to wait and see if the new Minister is going to listen to the industry and make some changes involving common sense. Some informal conversations I have had with the Department indicate that there will be some reviews of current requirements. I'm not holding my breath though that things will change quickly though.
Multime,
The introduction of or the legislation enforcing the use of ASICs is nothing to do with CASA. They are merely an issuing authority.

Probably a moot point now however reporting as requested, apparently my ASIC arrived Thursday Jan 24th in registered envelope from the CASA ASIC Renewal Team.
I am away and letter unopened however I am assuming it is the card; surely any questions they had would be sent ordinary post??
Cheers

Good one Galdian
Jan 7-24 = 17 days
I sent my paperwork on Jan 5 - still waiting!
If they find out I know Jaba bin Lower (see More Photos thread post #2445), I may be in strife!
