AIPA President Mark Sedgwick said: “It is disappointing that our aviation safety regulator has not adequately consulted with our pilots in regards to the management of pilot and crew fatigue.” AIPA maintains that CASA is obliged under the Civil Aviation Act to properly consult with industrial bodies such as theirs in setting or changing safety guidelines. AIPA maintains that CASA has failed to meet the standards imposed on it by its governing Australian legislation and has also failed to meet guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. CASA is expected to make a decision soon on permanent changes to Qantas’s fatigue risk management system (FRMS), which includes proposed changes to rosters and maximum planned flying durations allowed for crews. In considering Qantas’s proposed fatigue risk management system, “CASA has refused to consult, as they are obliged to by law, with those who have the most practical experience of aviation fatigue – our pilots,” the association said. “This freight precinct has the potential to become Sydney’s most important freight hub, generating thousands of jobs, and we’re thrilled to have two of the industry’s leaders, dnata and Toll Group, on board enabling us to optimise the functionality and design for our freight customers at Sydney’s new Airport,” Millett said.Īustralian pilots say CASA in breach: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia is in breach of its legal and safety responsibilities, according to the Australian and International Pilots Association (AIPA) which represents the vast majority of Qantas pilots.
