  1. No Kieth, Us lemming members will just suck it up and keep paying as there is nowhere else to go, well there is but……..
  2. If that is the case, no point moaning here about what was done in changing the structure, those that voted for that, screwed the pooch by the look of it. I would allege RAAus doing nothing except collect membership dues, aircraft rego, and browbeat the current maintenance regime into the ground, until many people give up. They turn up at air shows, flying-ins to foster Aviation on one hand but on the other the maintenance training regime does not exist as it should. Handballing it to TAFE, is a cop out. CASA should pull RAAus ticket and look at SAAA.
  3. Well, I hear horror stories from people I actually speak to, been aviators for years and RAAus is not very popular, for a long time with many people. There are many incorrectly maintained aircraft flying, but I won’t say anymore on that. Suffice to say the current L2 situation getting worse over time, and the standover attitude of RAAus has caused problems in the past and not looking any better for the future, unless they change attitude and get a bit more professional. The company structure principle has stuffed it, in my opinion.
  4. Word on the street is……no one has applied for. 760kg yet, if it’s true?
  5. RAAus are interested in training pilots and L1’s and after that…….?
  6. The money cost to RAAus would probably prohibit their interest, because what TAFE would want. But in reality it really should be run by RAAus or SAAA themselves.
  7. Myself being an SAAA member, I have enquired there and I believe they have training plans afoot but not sure how progressed it is, and I am not sure of the syllabus planning either, I may have more info after the Wentworth Flyin. I wanted to attend that but unfortunately I cannot. RAA in handballing it off to TAFE? Well I guess that will be the end of any L2 training? Maybe CASA need to make it part of their charter?
  8. Correct me IF I am wrong, but I have never seen an L2 Maintainers Course advertised by RAAus? Applications for Scolarships? Thanks for link.
  9. That was a link off the CASA Part-149 page…….maybe it was broken?
  10. It lies deep in the bowels of Part-149, according to a phone conversation I had, but even CASA say on their page if i have trouble with it, to contact them. https://www.legislation.gov.au/help-and-resources/using-the-legislation-register/known-issues
  11. I am more interested in the future policy for training L2s as many of the current problems will solve themselves if we grow the L2 population. IF RAA pull any L2s Authority for what ever reason, then that will be even less people to do L2 work. So, will RAA bite the bullet on L2 training? All I have heard is Crickets………..
  12. That person I spoke with should only ever be a switchboard operator looking after 3 extensions, any more would be an overload for them……..
  13. I got brushed off, on my phone call and was told ‘ we don’t care if your wings are stuck on with blue tack’. End of call 🤢
  14. True but, it’s obvious the system is not working and enforcement as it stands seems to have problems. Then RAA’s crash. investigations policy……?
  15. I make many assumptions in my life to spawn criticism and comment, it’s done in an effort for more authoritive people to clear the air or stimulate debate on an issue that has problems. We have people state problems with ACRs and possible enforcement of their credibility. So where to now? Knowing human beings, I suspect not much…….
