<TD vAlign=top colSpan=2>At a follow up meeting between CASA and industry on 30 November 2006, Leisure Flight Australia proposed a draft regulation for self administration of private GA.

 

A follow up meeting to the October industry/CASA “summit†was held in Canberra on 30 November 2006.

 

Among others, CASA made a presentation on how industry should structure a safety case to satisfy CASA and the Minister that self administration could deliver a safety outcome at least equal to that under CASA administration.

 

The Board of Leisure Flight wanted to increase the momentum, so decided to draft a regulation for discussion purposes to present at the meeting. This proposal was presented by Peter Bennett, and was followed up by an interlocking presentation by Trevor Merton on behalf of the Warbirds Association. The concept was well received.

 

As a result, CASA has asked us to create an industry team to develop the regulation. They will contribute as necessary, but want industry to lead the push. This is exactly what we want too. At last we have the opportunity to make rapid progress.

 

Eventually the presentations from the meeting will be posted on the CASA website. In the meantime you can download the LFA presentation here and the Draft Regulation here. Please read and send your comments to Peter Bennett for consideration as the regulation is fleshed out and refined. If you or your organisation has relevant expertise and are not yet a member of LFA, please join now and help us in this important process.</TD></TR></T></TABLE>
