Industry Queries CAA Airworthiness Standards

Industry Putting Pressure on Caa To Streamline Certification Procedures
Australia’s airlines and the major General Aviation aircraft distributors are beginning to publicly query the often unique certification standards applied to Australian registered transport aircraft.
Qantas and Ansett have both issued lengthy submissions to both the Industries Assistance Commission inquiry into the travel and tourism industries and the Air Safety Regulatory Panel (ASAP) set up by the then Aviation Minister, Mr Peter Morris to rewrite, update and streamline the Australian aviation regulatory environment. The IAC will issue the results of its report during 1989 while the initial draft of the ASAP was due to be handed to the present Minister for Aviation as we closed for press.
To a large extent the move to actively query, or at least try and get the CM to publicly justify its often unique certification standards, stems from increasing industry frustration at not being able to get aircraft certificated without a costly and time consuming certification process which to many is likened to “merely reinventing the wheel” of an already certificated US Federal Aviation Agency transport aircraft.
