It has now been revealed that CASA has rated Hobart Airport as ‘high risk’ following last year’s string of serious safety incidents - see article below from The Weekend Australian.
Airservices has not accurately published our feedback so we ran an ad in the Aviation section of The Australian today
New information appears to show that Airservices pressured consultant Tania Parkes to change her report to suit the outcome it wanted.
A reminder that the submission deadline for Airservices Australia's proposed new Hobart flight paths has been extended to Monday 7 January 2019.
The Hobart flight path review is at a critical point, with the submission period about to close on 7 January 2019.
Unfortunately, Airservices is not prepared to work with community stakeholders to develop workable flight path solutions based on a combination of local knowledge and technical expertise.
The story of Airservices Australia’s so-called community consultation on Hobart flight path changes would be farcical if the impact wasn’t so serious for affected communities.
Finally, after a year long review, and an unexplained 3 month delay, Airservices Australia has released it promised ‘greenfields’ flightpath options for public consultation.
Unfortunately there were no options provided to enable genuine consultation, only a single very complex plan which, underneath, differs little from what was proposed in November 2017.
