Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority review its surveillance methods, which
may include cooperation with Airservices Australia, for the
detection of patterns of unsafe practices and noncompliance with
regulatory requirements.
CASA has recently completed a review of its surveillance
methods, particularly in the General Aviation environment. This has
resulted in some changes to planning methodology, some
modifications to surveillance activities and increased use of risk
based methodology. Procedures are also being established to improve
the communication channels between CASA and Airservices Australia,
to facilitate the provision between the organisations of relevant
information.
