fly_tornado Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 so could the MARAP program could be dead in the water if Darren leaves and the RAA can't find a qualified replacement? Is that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 so could the MARAP program could be dead in the water if Darren leaves and the RAA can't find a qualified replacement? Is that how it works? Yes. My understanding is that MARAP is the only process where the tech manager has to be specifically and individually approved by CASA. The rest of the tech manager role is not requiring specific approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundsounds Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 so could the MARAP program could be dead in the water if Darren leaves and the RAA can't find a qualified replacement? Is that how it works? The MARAP will continue, just be prepared to pay through the nose to receive the appropriate approvals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 so what exactly is Darren's qualification? is it very common are there like 100 or 1000 people in Australia that have qualification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundsounds Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 so what exactly is Darren's qualification? is it very common are there like 100 or 1000 people in Australia that have qualification It’s not the qualification, it’s the CASA delegation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slb Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Are we going to have a Tech Manager though, if Jared Smith is going to be the new Head of Airworthiness and Engineering. Sounds like Technical has evolved in to Engineering now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 It’s not the qualification, it’s the CASA delegation. so does Jared automatically get that delegation as the new head of Airworthiness and Engineering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slb Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Is he also a LAME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Someone better be the Technical Manager ... because that is the ONLY role defined by and granted ALL powers under the CASA approved technical manual ... no tech manager no aircraft management under the tech manual. If it were not so serious it would be very funny. Equally take a look at the actual power position under the ops manual ... someone better be the ops manager as well 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoSuperSonic Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 "Jared will also tap into the technical advisory network, a panel of experienced engineers and LAMEs" Quoted from the announcement from RAAus. If the CASA authorised person is such a critical role, surely they'd have someone from their panel of experienced engineers and LAMEs who could step in as a back-up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Page Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yes. My understanding is that MARAP is the only process where the tech manager has to be specifically and individually approved by CASA. The rest of the tech manager role is not requiring specific approval. If that is the case would The Tech. Manager be the owner of that particular MARAP? Put in simplistic terms he gets a royalty every time it is used? BUT---when the MARAP was developed was the Tech Manager an employee or consultant? BUT---If he was an employee RAAus own it and RAAus will need another trained employee to administer the process. There will be quirks involved and let the experts unravel them.

facthunter Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Why can't WE also tap into this Network of experts they allude to? (IF such a group worthy of the title exist). There's an acute shortage of "real" knowledge out there. That's why engines that used to be reliable are not reliable. and people,stall/spin out of turns. Who's actually building the GOOD motors? Where are the schools TAFE's etc with people who actually have the REAL gen and have hands on experience? They do not exist.. Trained and experienced people cost money and they will go to better jobs (or give up) if they aren't paid enough to make the BS they have to put up with worthwhile. This mob wouldn't really know IF they had a good techman or not most likely It's the quickest turnover job in the show with most (if not all ) who get terminated/ sacrificed totally Pi$$ed off. There's a big disconnect between management and the reality of the coalface (METAPHORICALLY speaking) in general where experience and nous are needed.

NotSoSuperSonic Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Any doubts, report it the the ATSB. Would that be worth any good? CASA allows RAAus to investigate its own accidents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Police have the responsibility for RAAus accident investigation. The RAAus MAY be called in to assist Not correct, unfortunately. Police are tasked to investigate whether a criminal offence or criminal offences has/have been committed, particularly in any event involving bodily harm or death. When Police attend an incident involving aircraft, they are there to identify if the incident has occurred as a result of criminal behaviour, or if bodily injury or a fatality/fatalities has occurred. Once the Police have determined no criminal offence has been committed, RA-Aus are then entitled to take over the incident investigation, and determine the reason. Of course, if RA-Aus discover, during their investigation, that a criminal offence, or offences has occurred, then the Police are then involved again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Where is this information coming from? It's definitely not what was the case years ago, so when was the change IF there has been one..? GA is different. It's a question of who has control over the crash site. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 We need to stay right away from the Storchy case; it's not going anywhere. It was decided by a Magistrate who took all the evidence into consideration. Each time this subject comes up we risk a Contempt of Court issue. What is risked is an action in defamation against the person making the allegations which were rejected by a court AND against the owner of this website. IT’S NOT FAIR TO IAN! There was a 28day window to file an appeal and it wasn’t lodged. End of story Kaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 And the latest comments about the magistrate ARE contempt! I’m sorry you feel badly done by Storchy. You can say what you like on the street but by publishing it here you are putting Ian’s assets at risk. That’s unforgivable because you have been warned many times.

onetrack Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Where is this information coming from? There's five police officers in my immediate family. Superintendent, Senior Sgt, two Snr Constables, and a Sgt Detective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So. It was always as I have stated. The responsibility is with the police in each state. They have authority over the crash site. the owner cannot interfere or move the plane and don't even have to involve the RAAus who MAY be invited to contribute and assist.
