Industry Urged to Speak Up on New Rules
Pilots, air operators and flying instructors are being urged to
register now for a vital conference on Australia’s air safety
rules. Places are filling quickly for the conference that focuses
on proposed new regulations covering flight crew licensing, flight
operations and flying training.
The proposed new rules are central to the safe operation of the
aviation industry and impact on large and small aviation
businesses, as well as private pilots. With the draft rules set to
be finalised at the end of this year, the conference is an
important opportunity for people in the aviation industry to
provide comment and criticism to the Civil Aviation Safety
Authority.
The three day conference starts on 3 March and is
being held at the Sydney Convention Centre. More than 200 people
have already registered to attend the sessions, which will look at
the proposed new rules in detail. Representatives from the large
airlines as well as many smaller regular public transport operators
and charter operators will be present. Most TAFEs and universities
that offer aviation courses will also be taking part.
CASA’s executive manager Standards, Bill McIntyre, says
the conference is the most important aviation safety event in 2003.
"The re-write of Australia’s aviation safety standards is
well advanced and CASA’s aim is finalise the great bulk of
the work by the end of this year... It means the aviation industry
will be facing many changes to safety regulations in the next few
years. That makes it vital for everyone involved in flying to have
their say on the proposed reforms now."
It's really important.
McIntyre closed his remarks with this admonition: "Everyone who
flies who or runs an aviation business will have to make changes --
now is the time to learn about the proposals and be a part of the
reform process."
