2015 budget gives casa another $25m this year

 

In the current budget, casa gets another $25 this year and up to $100m from a continuing avgas/ avtur levy by the budgeted 2019 year.

 

This levy was supposed to finish in June 2014.

A major cost that is not justified, to the entire aviation industry.

Well they can give a million to the RAA.

Well they can give a million to the RAA.

They gave us $133k last year in operating grant ... and that was more than 25% increase over the previous year ... so asking for $1m more would seem - from the CASA viewpoint - a bit rich.

Looking from the RAA side we have 10,000'ish members and 3,000'ish aircraft - calling them all the same value from an admin perspective we get around $10/yr per member or aircraft ... I'd love to see CASA run even just the bare aircraft register and pilots licence admin for $10/yr per item ... just running a database and sending out a reminder letter and confirmation would eat up more than that.

 

to rip off Charles Dickens ... Mr CASA, May we have some more please?
