This research will attempt to assess the effectiveness of the CASA regulatory oversight program. This would be accomplished by analysing data collected from previous CASA audits (back to 2001), in particluar findings resulting in Requests for Corrective Actions (RCA's). These findings, from all disciplines of aviation would becompared with the safety concerns of the aviation community. The research would be used to gauge the areas of concern to the industry.

Further comparisons would be made with the growth of aviation in Australia, the changing face of aviation and the shift towards systems based auditing by CASA.
