These are compounded by the implementation of the &#8220;six-pack&#8221; of flight operations regulations last year. Also the timing of setting up the centralised Guidance Delivery Centre (GDC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve had the perfect storm with the introduction of the flight operations rules and the ramp up in activity following the end of COVID restrictions,&#8221; Spence said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I know that this isn\u2019t acceptable, and we\u2019ve stood up a team, a type of concierge service. This will allow people who are experiencing delays causing operational problems to get their application escalated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is in addition to the <strong><a aria-label=\"Guidance Delivery Centre (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casa.gov.au\/about-us\/content-search\/news-media-releases-speeches\/new-centralised-enquiry-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Guidance Delivery Centre<\/a><\/strong>, which was set up to provide a nationally consistent response to queries.

However, Spence told the conference that the centre was not yet up-to-speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While there have been some teething problems, we believe this national model will ultimately facilitate clearer and better communication with you and other industry sectors,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While the GDC is the &#8216;go to&#8217; for formal advice on specific questions, one thing we are not saying is don\u2019t talk to your local CASA office. You can still talk to your local CASA people, particularly about straight-forward issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have made this point to CASA staff as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spence told operators that if they were seeking approval for something complex, giving CASA some notice would help the regulator better deal with the query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>from:  <strong>Australian Flying<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Processing delays at CASA.
