casa and atsb just do not get it!!!!!!!!!

[soilmaster]

The on-going senate inquiry into pelAir has some serious implications for all aviation, no matter what end of town.

 

The Minister, was last night asked on his response to the current senate inquiry, where there was 176 odd pages which did not give any positive space to either CASA or ATSB. The 26 reccomendations even went to a reccomendation to investigate laying charges on casa and atsb for breaches of the TSI Act [Transport Safety Investigation Act]

 

This is worth looking at : Albo is asked an aviation question

 

and start asking questions.

Finally Albo is asked a question on Aviation

 

Ben Sandilandlands and Prime's Chris Reason have broken the drought on real aviation questions:

 

Further information is on:

 

PelAir in Open | Assistance to the Aviation Industry

 

Let us all keep up the questions to the Minister and keep the pressure on.

 

A useful source is: #aviation and #pelair on tw-tter.com and let albo know on @albo and tell them:

 

Aviation needs your help

What a senate inquiry because some guy ran out of fuel or is it about something else?

Arising from that accident. I guess it will be about CASA's oversighting of the ops of Pel Air and their fuel carrying policy. Could be one of the reasons for all the emphasis on SMS's Nev

 

 

[soilmaster]

The issue here is that casa has breached the Transport Safety Investigation Act by not giving all the information it had to the atsb. In doing that, casa failed to give [atsb] them what is known as the "Chamber's Report".

 

This report showed that casa had failed in it's duty of care in surveilling PelAir.

 

The easy person to blame was the pilot rather than the PelAir system, which was completely "off-song".

 

This is not about sms's, but in fact the failure again by casa to both adequately surveil, following approval of a deficient AOC, which casa approved anyway.

Unique situation, the only PIC to run out of fuel and not to be at fault then.

Significant Met conditions were at play too and the responsibility of the BOM may be in question IIRC in relation to information available at the time to both ATC and the pilot.
