I had a 1:1 meeting with Jonathan Aleck this morning, on the subject of their newly touted “Regulatory Philosophy.”
Aleck wrote the policy document, and says he’s quite proud of it: https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy <https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy> (the meeting arose because I challenged CASA’s stakeholder engagement people about how item 8, “Just culture,” applied to CASA’s actions in relation to Fadlalla and Civil Aviation Safety Authority [2015] AATA 331 (15 May 2015), in which a two judge Administrative Appeals Tribunal systematically eviscerated CASA for enforcement overreach, bad-faith heavy handedness, and outright fabricating allegations against a student pilot in an attempt to get his license cancelled after a mistake in his flight planning caused him to arrive at Jandakot 3 minutes after last light. If you have an hour to spare, have a read of the 107 paragraph decision, and marvel at how a judge can so comprehensively dismantle an out of control regulator: http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/AATA/2015/331.html <http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/AATA/2015/331.html> ) Aleck's intention is that for each action CASA takes, whether it’s enforcement, regulatory drafting, or policymaking, the person within CASA who is implementing the action should be able to explain how it is consistent with the ten points laid out in the statement on their website. His staff are running internal training across the country for CASA employees. His expectation is that where that can’t or doesn’t happen, people like us will — and should — demand better. I don’t think it’s possible to defend the AVMed status quo against those ten principles. Specifically, class 2 medicals for private pilots offend items 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; and since the UK and US liberalized their private medicals, there’s probably an argument to be had about item 4 too. Have at it. Two days left. - mark > On Mar 28, 2017, at 12:15 PM, Mike Borgelt <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Excellent.
