I went to a CASA safety presentation the other day. John Bradley, Steve Allen, Vince Cassaniti (late again), Ron Lawford, Skippy and myself made up the TEFC representation at the presentation, again hosted by the extremely professional Peter Ball who chaired a great presentation by Mark Richardson (Richo) who is no stranger to Darwin or these presentations.

Although I have enjoyed every presentation put on by CASA, this one was probably the most relevant to us folk out at MKT because it covers new procedures effective on June 3 for non-towered aerodromes - which would be us.

I will be dropping out some brochures provided at the presentation but an equally exciting announcement is that CASA has developed some eLearning on the subject which means you can sit at your computer (connected to the internet) and learn about this stuff online. It will take about 45 minutes to complete this piece of eLearning.

As some of you may know, in my day job I am an eLearning architect which has more to do with building pictures in peoples minds about learning online than learning any computer skills, so I am really heartened to see CASA taking up the challange and who knows, we as RA-Aus may be able to contribute some relevant eLearning back into the knowledge mix.

Anyway, to get your teeth into this learning, visit http://casaelearning.com.au/M02/index.htm

or, if that is too hard the paraphrased version is - you must carry and use your radio at a certified, registered and military non towered aerodromes and there are changes to circuit procedures that come into effect 3 June 2010.
