From Peter Ball at CASA

As you may be aware, CASA has recently initiated an Ageing Aircraft study.

The aim of the study - The Ageing Aircraft Management Plan (AAMP) - is to scope the magnitude of the ageing aircraft situation in Australia.

The AAMP will determine if there are any safety consequences associated with the continued operation of ageing aircraft, and if so, what actions might need to be taken to ensure appropriate levels of airworthiness are maintained.

As part of the AAMP study, CASA is conducting a series of Industry Consultation visits around the country.

The AAMP Project Team will be visiting Darwin Airport on Wednesday 1 September 2010 where they will be providing a presentation to an invited forum of industry professionals such as yourself and then seeking comments from the floor that will be directed back into the AAMP plan.

This is your chance to be involved in the process, everything you might have to say will be taken into consideration.

The location of the visit is the Sir Reg Ansett Room - Darwin Airport Resort.

The time will be 8:30am for a 9:00am start with finalisation of proceedings by 12:30pm.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

You are hereby invited to participate in this forum and requested to RSVP to this invitation by COB Wednesday 25 August 2010 for the purposes of determining catering requirements.

I've tried to send this to as many Industry people in the Darwin area as I can, please feel free to forward to any aircraft operators,
owners or maintainers either within or external to your operation that you think would be interested.

Here is your chance for that free lunch from CASA!

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Regards,

Peter Ball .
