Airservices reports more than $10 million loss this financial year
In an article in The Australian newspaper this morning headed, “Airservices loses 523 to voluntary redundancy” it mentions there will be more than a $10 million loss this year.
This is of course nothing compared to the losses they are going to force on General Aviation with the $32 million plus ADSB mandate for all aircraft which fly in cloud from next February.
Everyone tells me this is nothing other than sheer bastardry as there is clearly no safety reason for this requirement. As Jeff Boyd, Chairman of CASA made clear at the hangar meeting at Tamworth, with the Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, it’s an Airservices requirement the ADSB mandate goes ahead and is not delayed until 2021, as per the AOPA request.
Readers of this sight may remember John McCormick was quite happy to give dispensations in the same way dispensations were given on RVSM, however he later advised that Airservices refused to allow this to happen on so called safety grounds.
This of course is shown to be rubbish as they allow the military to fly in the airspace without ADSB and also allow airlines for up to 3 days to operate with a faulty unit.
It looks as if they are not only intent on sending their own organisation into losses but forcing the same on General Aviation.
I also note the article mentions the $1.5 billion OneSKY project. Wait until we hear further about that. Everyone is saying it’s going to be one of the most costly fiascos of all time – far worse than the Super Seasprite disaster.

"ADS-B is the cornerstone for Australia's transition to satellite technology based surveillance. The technology has already enabled a vast increase in the air traffic surveillance coverage over Australian territory - resulting in significant increases in operating and safety efficiencies."

This may explain.
More likely a badly explained change in the way they count (which the note at the bottom suggests).
They will definitely need more people. How else will they complete the 70% or so remaining work on the regulatory reform program?

I would suggest that it is more likely to be:
1. Pilots moving to RAA
2. Inactive student pilots leaving due to ASIC requirements or similar
3. Introduction of car licence type medicals.
The interesting question is with CASA AVMED issuing about half the number of medicals as they did about 5 years ago, why is their response time worse than ever?
----why is their response time worse than ever?
Remember, to err is human, but to really screw up, you need a computer.
