Clarity needed on the implementation of the ASRR
Early last year the CASA Director published ‘Directive 01/2015’, which essentially directs CASA staff to ensure that regulatory changes are justified on the basis of safety risk and do not impose unnecessary costs or unnecessarily hinder participation in aviation and its capacity for growth. This is an excellent document and I commend it to you for further reading. The Director has also been actively promoting this philosophy to all staff, particularly those involved in regulatory development.
Alas, there appears to be a degree of inertia within management which is frustrating the much needed cultural change required to fully implement this new philosophy. Fortunately the Director is made of sterner stuff and we understand that there is a significant management refresh underway. His challenge will be to identify who to keep and who to let go. Ideally we will see managers replaced by those who have industry experience, who understand the ramifications of the impact their regulations and can maintain a sober approach to risk assessment and commit to practicing genuine industry consultation.
