Episode 302: Airspace, Negotiations and Regulations (plus an F35 or two)

Grant’s sulking because Max forgot his name last week and it takes all Steve’s producer skills (and a few beers) to get him back into the groove. Once that’s achieved, it’s on with the show:CASA acknowledges that the new Wellcamp airport near Toowoomba is likely to have airspace issues once it’s up & runningMeanwhile, Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek will take up to a year just to get through discussions & negotiations :(The recently released Aviation Safety Regulation Review is recommending some major changes in CASA’s approach to industryOne final item is a gratuitous plug for our latest episode of the Plane Crazy Down Under show, where we spend a lot of time going into some depth on the F35 and effort required to bring it online with the RAAF.
