The concern related to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which has been operating near the Gold Coast airport and Sea World Helipad
The concern related to a model aircraft club, operating at an authorised landing area (ALA), which was maintaining a listening watch on the multicom frequency 126.7 even though the procedure has been changed and the club should be maintaining a listening watch on the area frequency.
The concern relates to a number of ATSB investigation reports that, although they identify both that CASA have detected issues within an operator before an accident and have not taken any action, this has not been included as a contributing safety factor in the ATSB investigation findings.
