CASA’s view on the BAe 146
4.84 CASA noted in its submission that it:
… has reviewed the certification of the BAe 146 aircraft and is satisfied that the aircraft meets the design standards applicable at the time of introduction of the aircraft into Australian service. Indeed, in the passenger configuration in which the aircraft are operated in Australia, they meet the latest standards for conditioned air quality.88
4.85 However the Committee notes evidence from former CASA Airworthiness Inspector Mr Richard Best. Mr Best told the Committee in his submission that:
It is recommended to the Committee CASA should be required to independently, obtaining whatever recognised expertise is needed, review the air contamination as a certification issue so as to ensure the Australian public and persons involved with the BAe 146 can be assured or have a level of confidence that the aircraft type is safe.89

87 CASA, Evidence, 13 March 2000, p 182
88 Submission 20, CASA, p 4
89 Submission 30, Mr R Best, p 2
4.86 CASA has advised the Committee that:
The cabin environment in the BAe 146 aircraft is as chemically clean, if not cleaner, than other transport aircraft in service today. In terms of national standards for offices and workplaces, these aircraft are far cleaner (less contaminated) than their earthbound counterparts.90
Criticism of CASA’s approach
4.87 The Australian Federation of Air Pilots was critical of the performance of CASA in relation to air contamination on the BAe 146. The AFAP argues that this contamination represents a breach of civil aviation regulations. In evidence to the Committee, the AFAP argued that the aviation industry, including the aircraft manufacturer, the engine manufacturer and the airlines operating the aircraft were all aware of this situation. However, according to the AFAP, CASA appears to have accepted the view expressed by these groups that there is no safety hazard, despite the fact that civil aviation regulations are not being met.91
4.88 The AFAP’s contention that contamination of cabin air represents a potential breach of civil aviation regulations on air quality, pilot health and aircraft airworthiness is supported by two other submissions, one from Captain Susan Michaelis and one from former CASA Airworthiness Inspector, Mr Richard Best.92
4.89 In a submission to the inquiry a former CASA District Airworthiness Manager at Bankstown Airport in Sydney, Mr Richard Best, told the Committee:
In approximately the middle of 1998 following industry intelligence I made an internal Risk Observation Report to the appropriate persons in CASA concerning reports of air contamination leading to medical problems with a number of Flight Deck and Cabin crew. The numbers were significant and warranted detailed investigation by CASA. It appears to me that CASA has not carried out any independent investigations into the situation but has relied on the reports provided by the operators claiming the situation to be an occupation health and safety issue as distinct to a safety issue.
