Jonathan Aleck is the problem at CASA, not any
kind of solution. Has been for a long time. His
nickname is "the witchdoctor". Skidmore managed
to tell a porkie at a Senate hearing into the
Jabiru engine debacle. I wonder why? Left soon after

I had a 1:1 meeting with Jonathan Aleck this
morning, on the subject of their newly touted âRegulatory Philosophy.â
Aleck wrote the policy document, and says heâs quite proud of it:
<https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy>https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/our-regulatory-philosophy
(the meeting arose because I challenged CASAâs
stakeholder engagement people about how item 8,
âJust culture,â applied to CASAâs actions
in relation to Fadlalla and Civil Aviation
Safety Authority [2015] AATA 331 (15 May 2015),
in which a two judge Administrative Appeals
Tribunal systematically eviscerated CASA for
enforcement overreach, bad-faith heavy
handedness, and outright fabricating allegations
against a student pilot in an attempt to get his
license cancelled after a mistake in his flight
planning caused him to arrive at Jandakot 3
minutes after last light. If you have an hour to
spare, have a read of the 107 paragraph
decision, and marvel at how a judge can so
comprehensively dismantle an out of control
regulator:

)
Aleck's intention is that for each action CASA
takes, whether itâs enforcement, regulatory
drafting, or policymaking, the person within
CASA who is implementing the action should be
able to explain how it is consistent with the
ten points laid out in the statement on their
website. His staff are running internal training
across the country for CASA employees.
His expectation is that where that canât or
doesnât happen, people like us will and should demand better.
I donât think itâs possible to defend the
AVMed status quo against those ten principles.
Specifically, class 2 medicals for private
pilots offend items 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9; and
since the UK and US liberalized their private
medicals, thereâs probably an argument to be had about item 4 too.
Have at it. Two days left.

Excellent. So send in your comments to CASA and
also print out and send by snail mail to the Minister.
Make a pile of paper on his mail room desk. More impressive than emails.
Here are his contact details:

I support the AOPA proposal and the US treatment of Class 2 medicals.
I too recently did my Class 2 medical.
I discussed with the DAME how the RAMPC
requirements restrict to single engine ops,
less than 1,500kg, only 1 pax, and ops below
10,000â AMSL. He agrees that there is there is no science behind this.
At least in the US the proposed Class
2 allows multi engine ops, IFR, Night.
I know that many DAMEs also want change.
