Northland skydive operation grounded

CAA had grounded two... Any word on why? Couple of friends are supposed to be jumping with them next weekend.

On that note, only 8 of 23 skydive operations in NZ are currently operating due to delays in getting part 115 approval.

I am sure there will be two sides to this story but Part 115 has been coming for a long time.
I have to wonder when some of these operators actually got serious about getting their applications in. Others in the industry are well used to the Rules and the various Parts.

Is this a case of just last minute rush or have the CAA been slowing the process down ?
We should all know by now that any air operators certificate is not going to be just handed over until you have dotted the 'i's etc. That is at the very least.

8 out of 23 does seem like a small number.....

I have been involved in setting up several Part 145 hangars. I found the easiest method was to get the operation going along the new requirements first. Once it all seems to be working you can fine tune the exposition to what you are actually doing. Any problem areas are obvious at that point.

This is well before the exposition even looks like getting submitted.

it shouldnt have been a surprise to the operators. baron's right.
Ive done a few 119 applications. As said, get it submitted aginst the rule to start with. Then work to mould it more closely to the way you want to operate.
Of course, you still need to operate in accordance with your submitted exposition!

Riveting stuff.

Bit harsh, that's a good link - lots of aviation content :-
Nothing’s ‘better than dog’ - A quick weekend highlight in which I viewed an Australian dog skydiving has triggered my curiosity to find out for just how long back into history man’s best friend has taken this plunge.

Report on CASA post activity bonding sessions.
A neighbourhood support group approached Stuart at a mayoral forum with concerns of “lewd behaviour” on the stretch of beach opposite Sunbrae Grove

Acid tongue in cheek look at the new training centre
A Katikati supermarket is closed for business following reports construction work on the building is causing people to become ill.

Should be mandatory reading, deep insightful stuff for the serious, well informed aviation tragic.
