NEWS The appointment of Jeff Boyd to the CASA Board was
warmly welcomed but it is of ongoing concern that the CASA Board still has three vacancies, which is seen as holding back the reform of CASA. It also welcomed the appointment of a new CEO but clearly indicated that signifi cant challenges lay ahead in the reform of CASA and in bringing about badly needed improvements as highlighted in the independent Forsyth Report. With regard to the Forsyth report the Forum strongly
supported the return to a three tier regulatory system to facilitate the drafting of simple operational rules. The Forum rejected the current CASA move toward the use of non-regulatory measures such as advisory material, policy, manuals and forms as compliance requirements for operators and pilots. It also strongly supported the introduction of key quality assurance mechanisms within CASA, including a merit decision appeal process; again as identifi ed in the Forsyth report. The Forum called on the Government to immediately
establish a moratorium on all CASA regulatory development work until such time as the new CEO is fully operational, the CASA Board is appointed and the Government has made a clear response to the Forsyth Report. In particular, CASR Part 61 should immediately be suspended to prevent further damage to the industry and a joint industry/CASA taskforce appointed to apply the principles of sound regulatory development. CASR Part 61 was seen as a serious problem and not acceptable to the industry in its current form. It was identifi ed as a threat to the viability of some sectors and signifi cant numbers of operators. Additionally there is clearly confusion within the regulator about the implementation of the rule-set and a lack of consistent interpretation and education. Noting the start of the bushfi re season, the Forum
supported calls for the creation of an off ence for any unmanned aerial system (UAS) to be deployed at a fi re- ground by a member of the public not under the control of the relevant fi re agency, with serious penalties of the order of $50,000 for any instance.
DALLAS AIRMOTIVE OPENS STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY DEDICATED TO PT6A REPAIR AND OVERHAUL
Dallas Airmotive announces that the company has transformed its former Regional Turbine Center (RTC), located on Dallas-Love Field airport, into a state-of-the- art facility dedicated to the repair and overhaul of PT6A engines.
“As a company, we have been going through a
transformation and we are developing ways to serve our customers better and faster,” says Doug Meador, president, Dallas Airmotive. “Our new facility at Dallas-Love Field is a perfect example of that. Everything has been completely overhauled and redesigned. The facility, employees, and the operations are exclusively focused on delivering the best PT6A repair and overhaul service in the world.”
MIRAJ CORPORATION is pleased to introduce the Millennium HL Series starter generator brushes. An extension of our industry leading Millennium Series Long Life brush program, these brushes offer improved life and performance under the most demanding load conditions and operating environments, the Millennium HL Series - new brushes for a new generation.
Dallas Airmotive was the fi rst independent MRO
provider to receive authorization on the PT6 in 1964. This year it is celebrating 50 years supporting the PT6 engine and Meador explained that this puts Dallas Airmotive in a unique position in the industry. “We have unmatched experience providing the highest quality repair and overhaul on the PT6,” he states. “Across our organization, our employees are passionate about taking care of our customer’s engines. In this new facility, we have taken that drive, that passion, that expertise and focused it, creating a facility and team dedicated to the PT6.” During the redesign, Meador explains that processes and
workfl ow were optimized to deliver fast turnaround times on repairs and overhauls. “One of the top priorities of our customers is quick turnaround times. In our new PT6 facility, we have centralized our PT6 expertise and streamlined our processes to off er the highest quality, market competitive support with the best turn times in the industry,” he says. To showcase this capability and expertise, Dallas
Airmotive rebuilt a PT6A engine at NBAA in Orlando, Florida. Over the course of three days, Dallas Airmotive engine technicians rebuilt an engine at BBA Aviation booth #228 at the Orlando Convention Center. Product specialists were on hand to address questions about the process. “This is the fi rst time something like this has been undertaken,” says Meador.
