Backhand you missed the bit that is?

As Samuel Clemens once said, Lies, Damn lies and Statistics

I believe this question should be asked once again next Tuesday, when all the mob in Canberra get back to work.

Can't expect them to work flexi days, contracted days, or RDO's can we.

Tuesday to Thursdays only please.:{

50 ml at the vet last week - good effort to hit the little pot. :D

For week end contemplation :

BH said:Hey blackie I think you'll find in 'civil proceedings' that anecdotal or 'hearsay evidence' is permissable, from wikipedia:

Macduff: 'Let our just censures attend the true event, and we put on Industrious soldiership.'

Siward: 'The time approaches that will
with due decision make us know
What we shall say we have, and what we owe.
Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate,
But certain issue strokes must arbitrate;
Towards which advance the war.

Sin, Spin and Witch doctors.
 

Butson is a fair minded, honest, hard working solid citizen who contributes to the countries economy, provides employment and training to future airline pilots, runs and minds his own business; very well indeed. I wonder who is the delusional party involved here. Certainly not WA Senator Alan Eggleston. At least one Senator is not complacently 'spin dizzy'.

.
I am certain that the Australian travelling public would love to see this statement spread over their Sunday newspaper. What in all the hells is the Government, Senate and press thinking. Certainly not that this statement will be made headlines at first (next) major accident.

Beginning with Monarch and ending with Lockhart River CASA have consistently demonstrated exactly this attitude. Response to Coroner recommendation Zero, response to ATSB recommendation Zero. Why?. Not only do they simply not give a 'rats', they simply don't have to, by their lights.

This is becoming a feature of any case where it's CASA v Some unfortunate. With the 'myth of safety' the carrot, the confused state of the regulations the stick and the tacit compliance of government (wriggle room provided) to ensure that not one night of sleep is disturbed by the truth, fairness or heaven forbid, common sense.

.

"We" have been quietly working through some 250 odd items of interest related to publicly available 'evidence' from Coroner, ATSB, AAT and "Court" proceedings. It is interesting to note just how many needles are hidden under the 'haystacks' of paper work generated when the CASA boys 'get busy'.

Is time for the Public and their elected representatives (Politicians) to pay attention, become concerned and stop allowing themselves to be spoon fed on 'spin lotion' ??. I believe so.

Yep, the SS got one thing straight – someone's deluded, I wonder who??.

Congrats to Mr Phelan
 

Paul's article on "Birds, What Birds" has won the Aviation Technical Story of the Year.
Congratulations Mr Phelan.

More awards ??. Perhaps.
 

YSBK - Rwy 18/36. - Things to make you go Hmmm !. It begs the question - how many other 'charades' have been foisted on the long suffering public purse for little if no safety return. Love to see those tax dollars at work.

wots 'e dun...???
 

For those that posed the Q about the benefits of the Phearless P,s writings,be advised that there is NO other investigative Journalist looking into aviation matters ( like ongoing CASA perfidy) in the country.
Much of what he has written would never see the light of day otherwise, and victims know that they are not alone.:ok:

And not only that... he has freely given his valuable time and wordly expertise to others when compiling responses or queries to THAT dreadful and mendacious place that is not a "fit and proper" outfit to be in charge of Aviation in OZ.

Well done, that (pen) man.!
The industry owes ya !

Folks,
And he ain't finished, by a long shot. But he will be taking a short break, a couple of weeks, from which I am certain he will return fully recharged.
Tootle pip!!

And Paul is no spring Chicken, so who will aspire to fill his shoes one day?

Jaba,
Ain't that the truth!!!
Tootle pip!!

Leadsled!

Are you he? Bruce Wayne?

Leaddie is the John Wayne of regulatory review and a true font of wisdom on the way regulation interfaces to operation.

In a nutshell.
 

The article is here : Dudding the Delegate.


Be warned, it's a long, technical and slightly tedious read. You need to read it though if you intend to read between the lines, that's where the headlines are.

Max was one of a dozen similar cases, some of those would say that he was actually the 'lucky one'.

This story should never have needed to be written, but you know that, don't you.

Selah.

Lack of legal credibility???? Oops. I don't think the Witchdoctor or Flyingfiend will take too kindly to such assertions!!
Turds.

Ben is giving the 'fearless Phelan' a run for his money lately:D: ATSB delays air ambulance ditching report again, and again | Plane Talking He has got a few more readers as well!:ok:

Hoodo of Voodoo
 

Mr Murphy (SMH) like all journo's is seriously muzzled by fear of litigation but had a lash at it; the writer was obliged, I expect to 'fluff' it up for the punters; so the messages get lost in the hearts and flowers. But a good effort, at least the 'big boys' are paying some scant attention. Would the SMH have the cojones to tackle the unvarnished truth is a question for another day. SMH- Norflok ditching.

Ben Sandilands (bless him) was threatened and sued by the department glove puppet for daring to be forthright and honest about the Lockhart River imbroglio at the time. Lord knows, someone had to. It's reassuring to read that he can still years later "maintain the rage", although reading through his piece, there seems to be still plenty of scope to help him. Plane Taking - Norfolk and the ATSB.

The ATSB in the pantomime part of Cinderella have to mind their manners and not rock the boat too much, but Shame ATSB, shame on you. You have the legal horse power, skilled people and the support of Parliament, what's the hold up??.

Game on
 

Well and truly. Plane Talking and Aviation Advertiser both carrying the Senate Inquiry story. Music to listen to while you read the articles.

Aviation Advertiser. Plane Talking.

Curtain up, first the

Allegro

Quadiro
 

See the last paragraph of Phelans article - CASA has offered him his license back. Rightly so, he's not trusting that it's simply goodwill.

Could this be the beginning of the end of bad-CASA?

If you are operating the 152 under an AOC, the OM will, most likely, have the "demonstrated crosswind" speed as published in the AFM as a company crosswind limitation.

The End of Bad CASA...???
 

Now thats a title I'd like to see writ large.
CASA complete with the appropriate goodness and functional..?? , methinks thats a pipe dream for the NEXT generation.

CASA reminds me of the church that shifts the bad apples to another diocese.
Got a cock-up in CNS, shift to Bankstown. Balls up in DWN, move to CNS.
Its a classic way of keeping things quiet... and folk at the other end ignorant.
Its an Authority for the Evil Abuse of Power. :mad:

Let's swap spit
 

Nice one Aroa.Could this be there new mantra? There new catch call? There new leaf??
No more voodoo, no more pony pooh, no more secret police and Stasi like activities? Surely not.

The 'new leaf' -

"CASA we regulate with the appropriate goodness and are functional"

The new CASA and industry:

Well done Paul, for your new web site. The article Publish and be Damned – Case Study

The background for these types of issues in the publicly available material has been brought together in one place. The material is growing day-by-day as more material comes to light.

Much material comes from Senate Inquiries or by competent trawling of available aviation sources: Assistance to the Aviation Industry Involving problems with the Regulator
