fly_tornado Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The punters wanted a change and that's what we got. I heard they have also cut the juniour SES program as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The previous governments, both state and federal didn't give much to regional airports. Gladstone has spent millions to upgrade with the only government help being to pay for security screening for the terminal. It looks to me that all the cost saving is essential and we may all be better off in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if AVDATA and / or aerodrome operators could get access to the RAAus register then those aerodrome owners could collect the published fees.

kaz3g Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 As the owner of a GA registered aircraft, I do wonder why my privacy is less important than the owner of a RAAus registered machine. Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaz Kaz, I don't mind one little bit that AVDATA can get my billing address from the CASA Register but I do get a bit pee'd when an RAAUS aircraft lands at an airfield at the same time as me and never gets a bill for the landing fee. I often see complaints via this site that airfields are closing! The RAAus Register does not have to be made public but could/should be made available to the likes of AVDATA. A system I might add is great as after a trip I get one consolidated account for all my landing fees. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
