Not me Guv.
Wasn't this the site that was advertising no confidence in CASA?
I wonder
. Which one does he mean ??. I mean there are so very many options to choose from. Here are but two.CASA integrity survey.
No confidence in CASA.
Puzzled now. (Not being too bright at all). Why does he wonder how all this occurred ?; after all the Senate swallowed the last lot of pony pooh, didn't they ??. Huh, they did, yes, yes ??.
They did, it's all cool boys, so back to the trough.
High Ho – away we go.

Oink oink.
That will help them cover the costs of executive bonuses for 2012 plus it will provide them with additional trough money for trips to Montreal and other select destinations. Perhaps it will even cover anger management course costs for the Screaming Skull and maybe pay for the Voodoo Lawyer to gain another doctorate in jungle voodoo or some other folly unrelated to aviation?

Over $1,000,000
Charge out rate $200 per hour. Would equate to 5000 hours. Now assume each employee does 2000 hrs per year this would mean 2.5 ppl full time for a year or 10 for 3 months!!!!!
Casa are required to give a detailed and costed quote. Existing AOC and Fokker would be automatically accepted into oz if not already.
One company going through a legal name change was being tret as a brand new applicant.
This estimate can't be right surely perhaps just a rumour.

casa and the real number of pilots
I finally had time to look at the 2012 casa annual report. The pilot numbersw bear some careful note - still falling, when you consider the active medicals.
For your information, I include the last few years:
Just a mere 52% drop in active medicals and a 39% variance in casa reported Flight authorisations vs. actual active medicals - More official spin??

What's this "....acceptable to CASA" stuff.
Aren't you either licensed/qualified to perform a duty ... or not ?
Next you'll see ... "An aircraft may be flown by an appropriately qualified pilot (acceptable to CASA)"

Oh those sneaky boys, sneaky sneaky boys!
Annual Report
I find it instructive to note that, in Director's review, under the heading Strong Safety Oversight, the first significant safety outcome is not less accidents or providing more safety education but the grounding of Tiger Airways, followed soon after by Alligator.
Which seems to confirm (to me, anyway) that their idea of absolute safety is when zero aircraft are in the air.
I used to think safety was common sense (look left and right before crossing the road, don't stick your fingers into the toaster/electrical socket etc.) but now we need rules with associated penalties (!) to keep flyers and passengers "safe".
The way things are going, and at the rate of attrition in licences/medicals, we might very well achieve absolute safety sooner rather than later.

If the company has the same ABN, tell CASA to go jump. It is the same entity.
Currently any variation on AOC is being gone through with fine tooth comb, well in my experience anyway. A simple change of personnel will cause a complete audit of your OPs Manual. Beware

Currently any variation on AOC
A two line change to the OM (for Blogs read Smith) and a new Compliance Statement would all that is required.
I would like to see references to any Regulations that requires anything else.
By sticking ya head up, it could awake CASA and trigger an audit if one has not been done within the normal cycle.

The medicals are a tricky figure to interpret, as overseas pilots would not renew medicals when they go back overseas.
That is, a surge in overseas trainee pilots would lead to an initial increase in medicals, followed by a drop as they leave the country on completion.
Anecdotal evidence, from a number of recent graduates and junior instructors, is that the industry is presently quite robust. Seems like any qualified instructor could pick up a job quite easily.

However, if (say) a PPL transferred to RAA, his (perpetual) PPL would continue to be counted in the license total, but he would no longer get medicals. I wonder if the decline in CASA medicals is mapping the rise of RAA?

The control continues
The following comes from the 2014 annual report, which shows a major increase on a proportional basis of rejected medicals:
The below shows an up to 350% increase in 2012 of "FAILS", which continues into 2014. Is this the PMO - Navarthe showing he is boss?? as it certainly is not a reflection of rising medical issues.
Further, there is a fall in issued medicals, no matter how reported of 29.5% between 2010 to 2014, some 7731 medicals.
Doubtless another thing to fix Mr. DAS [new] and with no spin Mr. Gobsome.

UITA, I am sure they will blame the IOS/MAM's for those statistics - Silly pilots with declining personal health attributed to debauched lifestyles, a lack of Pilots exercising enough, not eating enough fruit and veg, or a declining number of aviators giving themselves regular barium enema's, things like that.....It's always our fault, didn't you know that?
