The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Sport and Recreation Aviation Branch did not have a process in place to verify if individuals subject to a suspension from a self‑administering organisation held a CASA licence and to ensure the information was provided to the CASA Coordinated Enforcement Process for review.
The introduction by CASA of a more robust process to ensure that individuals subject to a suspension from a self-administering organisation who also hold a CASA-issued authorisation will be subject to a review by the CASA Coordinated Enforcement Process should serve to address this safety issue.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has implemented a more robust process to ensure that all reports received that relate to suspension, variation or cancellation of authorisations issued by an approved self-administering organisation will include a review of CASA records to determine if the reported individual also holds a ‘same-in-substance’ CASA-issued authorisation. If a CASA-issued ‘same‑in‑substance’ authorisation is also held by the individual, then the matter will be immediately reviewed through the CASA Coordinated Enforcement Process.
