Time to Revamp Aerodrome Certification?
Aerodrome certification seems like both a mature system and an emerging concept. I acknowledge that while it has been in place in states like Australia for twenty years, some states are still working through the necessary regulatory development and implementation. Regardless, I’d like to go out on a limb and suggest that the concept is underdone. It takes an overly simplistic view of aerodromes and, as such, can hamper innovation and development.
Developing Policy for Safe Landings: the Global Reporting Format in Australia
Complete alignment with ICAO is, generally, a good policy to have. Their standards and recommended practices (as well as guidance material) are developed in a thoughtful and considerate way.

But what happens with the standards that don’t quite gel with the operational environment in your state?
