.
maintenance procedures (including specific maintenance procedures for ageing aircraft);
.
specific, appropriate maintenance and operational procedures for the BAe 146 which pay particular attention to the need to ensure aircraft are withdrawn from operational flying and serviced to ensure any operating faults resulting in oil leaks, fumes or smoke are immediately repaired;
.
that incident reports should now be specifically designed so as to reflect the history of the cabin air problem that has been encountered on the BAe 146;
.
sources of contamination in the cabin and cockpit environment in the BAe 146 be identified and further evaluated using appropriate sampling and analytical technology for the contaminants which, for example, might result from the burning of lubricating oil used in the BAe 146 engines;
.
companies operating BAe 146 and other passenger commercial jet aircraft in Australia provide CASA with specific reports on the results of monitoring these matters within an appropriate timeframe, whether quarterly or six-monthly, in order that CASA can assess the operations of the aircraft; and
.
air quality monitoring and compulsory reporting guidelines for all passenger jet aircraft operators.
Recommendation 2
The Committee recommends that CASA adopt the modification to aircraft air circulation systems proposal for the BAe 146 aircraft by the aircraft’s manufacturer as compulsory for all BAe 146 operating in Australia and that this be achieved by preparation and issue by CASA of an appropriate form of maintenance direction under the Civil Aviation Regulations.
The Committee also recommends that registration of BAe 146 aircraft operating in Australia be reviewed, and that renewal of Air Operating Certificates and registration of the BAe 146 be subject to completion of those recommended modifications as a condition for continued registration of the aircraft.
Recommendation 3
The Committee believes that development of an appropriate and accurate test for the presence of any chemical fumes in aircraft cabins is essential. The Committee accordingly recommends that CASA liaise with operators to develop a standardised, compulsory monitoring program which provides for testing cabin aircraft air during fume events.
Recommendation 4
That the issue of cabin air quality be reviewed by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission with a view to including aerotoxic syndrome in appropriate codes as a matter of reference for future Workers Compensation and other insurance cases.
Recommendation 5
The Committee recommends that the Minister for Transport request the Strategic Research Development Committee of the National Health and Medical Research Council to set up and undertake an appropriate research program on the effect of exposure to aircraft cabin air on air crew and passengers. The Committee also recommends that the Minister advise the Parliament on the form and duration of, such a program as part of the Government response to this report.
