Dear Gobbitt, David,

This is a simple request for the maintenance records relating to navigation equipment.

The Aerotropics Metro VH-TFU had the following equipment:

VOR, NDB, GPS

These are at two levels, the actual "maintenance shop" and the copies of the maintenance release for the period requested.

I require the records in the form and time span requested above and previously.

Yours sincerely,

Rob Cumming

Gobbitt, David, Civil Aviation Safety Authority

Good morning Rob,

As stated in my letter to you dated 9 December, I have not yet made a final decision in this matter.

This means that you cannot seek internal review, as no decision has been made.

The letter sent on 9 December is informing you that I intend to refuse your request in its current form, as the work involved in processing your request in its current form would substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of this agency from its other operations due to its size and broad scope.

I also stated in the letter that CASA’s records system does not explicitly record that CASA holds the maintenance records, or if it does, where they are located.

If you are now revising your request to the terms stated in your email below, please advise.

Regards
David Gobbitt A/g Freedom of Information Coordinator Advisory, Commercial and Legislative Drafting Section Legal Affairs, Regulatory Policy and International Strategy Branch Civil Aviation Safety Authority
