An aviation shake-up will modernise rules dating back about 20 years.  The Government has announced a major overhaul of the Civil Aviation Authority.  The reforms will also update pilot training and licensing to create clearer, more flexible pathways.  Industry Association Chief Executive Simon Wallace told Ryan Bridge historically, the Authority hasn't moved at pace.  He says certifications and approvals have been slow, at a cost to business.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
