  • Aviation Safety Regulation
    * Paul Stephen Dempsey McGill University Institute of Air & Space Law Some slides from Singapore CAA, France BEA, US FAA, ICAO and various websites. *The Chicago Convention of 1944 created the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] and gave it quasi-legislative authority to promulgate standards and recommended practices [SARPs] as Annexes to the Chicago Convention. These standards are binding upon member States that fail to notify ICAO of the differences in their domestic law. * * Article 12 of the Convention requires every contracting State to keep its regulations uniform, to the greatest extent possible, with those established under the Convention. * Article 37 attempts to achieve uniformity in air navigation, by requiring that every contracting State cooperate in achieving the “highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures, and organization in relation to aircraft personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation.” * The sentence that follows provides, “[T]o this end [ICAO] shall adopt and amend from time to time . international standards and recommended practices and procedures” addressing various aspects of air navigation. * Therefore, ICAO’s 191 member States have an affirmative obligation to conform their domestic laws, rules, and regulations to the international leveling standards adopted by ICAO. * * Annex 1 (Personnel Licensing), Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft), and Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft) require ICAO’s member States to promulgate domestic laws and regulations to certify airmen, aircraft, and aircraft operators as airworthy and competent to carry out safe operations in international aviation. * Subject to the notification of differences under Article 38 of the Convention, the legal regime effectively assumes that States are in compliance with these safety mandates.

  • Aerospace Action Plan Progress Report
    QUEENSLAND AEROSPACE 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan PROGRESS REPORT By 2028, the Queensland aerospace industry will be recognised as a leading centre in Australasia and South East Asia for aerospace innovation in training; niche manufacturing; maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications for military and civil markets. Launch Completion 2018 2028 International border closures due to COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on the aerospace industry in Queensland, particularly the aviation sector. Despite this temporary industry downturn, the Queensland Government has continued to stimulate the aerospace industry through investment in infrastructure, technology and international promotion. I look forward to continuing to champion Queensland aerospace businesses, taking the industry to new heights. The Honourable Steven Miles MP DEPUTY PREMIER and MINISTER FOR STATE DEVELOPMENT Case study – Queensland Flight Test Range in Cloncurry The Queensland Government has invested $14.5 million to establish the foundation phase of a common-user flight test range with beyond visual line of sight capabilities at Cloncurry Airport. The Queensland Flight Test Range (QFTR) provides a critical missing element in the UAS ecosystem for industry and researchers to test and develop complex technologies. Operated by global defence technology company QinetiQ, the QFTR supports the Queensland Government’s goal of establishing the state as a UAS centre of excellence and a UAS leader in the Asia-Pacific region. Inaugural testing at QFTR was completed by Boeing Australia in late 2020. Director of Boeing Phantom Works International Emily Hughes said the company was proud to be the first user of the site and would take the opportunity to continue flight trials on key autonomous projects.

The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) has conducted an airspace review within a 15 nautical mile (NM) radius of Avalon Airport to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose. The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface to 8,500 feet (FT) above mean sea level (AMSL). The previous aeronautical study specifically for Avalon was conducted in 2008.1 This airspace review applies CASA’s regulatory philosophy which considers the primacy of air safety, whilst taking into account the environment, security, cost and is consistent with the Australian Airspace Policy Statement 2018 and the Minister’s Statement of Expectations. A multifaceted approach was used in conducting this review, including quantitative and qualitative analysis consisting of: • Aerodrome traffic data; • Airspace design; • Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) incident data; and • Stakeholder consultation.

    ISSUE 26 | SEPTEMBER 2020 Archerfield Brisbane’s Metropolitan Airport Scholarship winner announced Griffith University aviation student, Chace Eldridge (pictured), has been awarded the inaugural H.C. Brinsmead Scholarship, funded by Archerfield Airport Corporation (AAC). The scholarship honours the pioneering work of Horace Brinsmead, who led what became Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) after World War 1. It is open to Griffith University Bachelor of Aviation and Bachelor of Aviation Management students. Chace, 20, is in his final year of Bachelor of Aviation studies and is focused on a career as a commercial pilot in Australia. He was recently accepted into the QANTAS Group Pilot Academy flight training program, which he hopes will provide a direct pathway to achieving his personal goal. The $4000 scholarship was awarded to a Griffith University student who reflects Brinsmead’s values of commitment and teamwork in the establishment of CASA. As well as studying and running his own fitness business, Chace is a Coordinator for the University’s Aviation Mentoring Program which matches students and aviation industry mentors. He is also a leader in the University’s MATES Program for aviation students, and last year mentored high school students at the University’s Flight Camp. Additionally, he is the Legal Officer on the National Committee of the Australian Youth Aerospace Association. “I want to thank AAC for this opportunity to further pursue my career ambitions,” Chace said. “Brinsmead was hugely impactful in shaping Australia to be one of the safest places to fly in the world. He was inspirational because he maintained his passionate beliefs about high standards in civilian aviation despite coming up against sections of the industry bitterly opposed to change.” Away from work and studies, Chace competes in football and cross country.

  • Airline and Aircraft Movement Growth “Airports...Are a Vital Part of Ensuring That Our Nation Is Able to Be Connected to the Rest of the World...”
    CHAPTER 5 AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT GROWTH “AIRPORTS...ARE A VITAL PART OF ENSURING THAT OUR NATION IS ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...” THE HON WARREN TRUSS, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER 5 Airline and aircraft movement growth The volume of passenger and aircraft movements at Canberra Airport has declined since 2009/2010. In 2013/2014 Canberra Airport will handle approximately 2.833 million passengers across approximately 60,000 aircraft movements, its lowest recorded passenger volume since 2007/2008. The prospects for a future return to growth however are strong. Canberra Airport expects a restoration of volume growth in 2015/2016 and retains confidence in the future of the aviation market in Canberra, across Australia, and particularly the Asia Pacific region. Over the next 20 years passenger numbers at Canberra Airport are projected to reach 9 million passengers per annum with some 153,000 aircraft movements in 2033/2034. Canberra Airport, with its extensive infrastructure upgrades in recent years, is well positioned to meet forecast demand with only minor additional infrastructure and capitalise on growth opportunities in the regional, domestic and international aviation markets. 5.1 OVERVIEW Globally, the aviation industry has experienced enormous change over the past 15 years including deregulation of the airline sector, operational and structural changes in the post-September 11 2001 environment, oil price shocks, the collapse of airlines as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC), and the rise of new global players in the Middle East at the expense of international carriers from traditional markets. Likewise, Australia has seen enormous change in its aviation sector – the demise of Ansett, the emergence of Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways, the subsequent repositioning of two out of three of these new entrant airlines and, particularly in the Canberra context, the collapse of regional airlines.
