Two Years in the Aviation Hall of Doom, Pt Ill

See and Be Seen

Bureaucracy Is a Necessary Product of Civilised Society. When That Bureaucracy Though Does Not Always Serve the Needs of Its Citizens, Perhaps It Is Time for an In-Depth External Review. Experienced Pilot and Successful Entrepreneur, Dick Smith Has Spent the Last Two Years Researching Just Why So Many Things ‘Don’t’ Happen in Our Department of Aviation. Dick’s Solution to the Problems Outlined in This Series Is an External Review Similar to That of the DIX Committee on the ABC. We Strongly Recommend Every Person Involved in Aviation in Australia To Read This Series as Time Has Surely Come.

Here is a classical example of how the Department is so organised that it is incapable of making any change, even when genuine safety is at issue, when they themselves want the change, and when the need is economically affecting an already depressed industry. To follow this one through, step by step, will reveal an extraordinary level of incompetence arising from organisational chaos. It is only one example of what is happening to everyone in aviation all the time and, remember, it has not yet been solved. It is the ‘see and be seen separation’ issue.

Throughout the world Visual Flight Rules {VFR) aircraft maintain their own separation from other VFR aircraft.
