Responsibilities

The ATSB is entirely separate from transport regulatory authorities such as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority...

It is not clear how the responsibilities are divided between ATSB and CASA. Valetude (talk) 21:18, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coroner investigates Recreation Aviation accidents in Australia

Recreation aircraft accidents in Australia involving fatalities are usually investigated by the state coroner. This reduces the effectiveness of safety management for the over 3,000 recreation aircraft on the recreation aviation register.

In Australia the state coroner's role is to determine ".. the identity of the deceased person, how they died, and the place, date and medical cause of the death" (https://www.courts.qld.gov.au/courts/coroners-court#:~:text=Under%20the%20Coroners%20Act%202003,medical%20cause%20of%20the%20death).

The coroner does not determine the cause of the accident. Determining the cause of nan aircraft accident is a prime means of improving aviation safety. Also the coroner is under no obligation to release any report on the accident. In some cases, it is several years before the immediate family are given any information about the accident or the cause of their relative's death.

It is not clear why the coroner manages recreation aircraft accidents and not the ATSB given that the ATSB has the resources to do accident invesigation while the coroner doesn't. One theory is that the Federal Government does not provide the ATSB with enough funding to investigate recreation aviation accidents so the ATSB passes the accident management to the relevant State Government coroner.

The lack of reliable data on the cause of the coroner's investigation into recreation aircraft accidents suggests that CASA and the Federal Government view the lives of people who fly in recreation aircraft as of less value than those who fly often in the same type of aircraft that are registered with CASA.

It's a major failure of CASA's State Safety Plan. 218.215.76.3 (talk) 22:27, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
