6.33 In relation to statutory requirements, the Committee consider CASA should ascertain whether current reporting requirements in respect of the operation of the BAe 146 and other aircraft, specifically related to the effect of cabin and cockpit air quality, are adequate. There is sufficient evidence from operators, the British Aerospace, CASA and BASI to conclude that CASA should re-assess and enhance its current scrutiny of the Australian BAe 146 fleet. The Committee believes such a monitoring program, which can be established under existing civil aviation regulations must re-assess and monitor the following matters:
5 Civil Aviation Act 1998 (Cth), s 9
6 Civil Aviation Act 1998 (Cth), ss 9(1) & (2)
7 ATSB, www.atsb.gov.au, Occurrence Brief 199702276, p. 4; see also Submission 24A, FAAA, p 2.

.  
the need for a specific national standard for checking and monitoring the engine seals and air quality in all passenger jet aircraft;

.  
the 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 that aircraft are maintained and serviced for a minimum operating time to ensure that faults resulting in oil leaks, fumes or smoke are 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;

.  
the need for sources of contamination in the cabin and cockpit environment in the BAe 146 to be identified and further evaluated using appropriate sampling and analytical technology for the contaminants which, for example, might result from the burning of fuel and lubricating oil used in the BAe 146 engines; and

.  
the need for companies operating the BAe 146 and other aircraft in Australia to provide CASA with specific reports on the results of monitoring these matters within an appropriate timeframe, quarterly or six-monthly, in order that CASA can assess the operations of the aircraft.

The role of the Minister for Transport in safety considerations
6.34 The Committee notes that under the Civil Aviation Act 1998, the Minister for Transport cannot make a direction to CASA on specific matters, but has the power to provide direction to CASA generally on the performance of its functions.8 In September 1999, for example, the Minister provided CASA with a comprehensive set of directions on performance of its functions,9 although section 12 of the Civil Aviation Act 1998 requires that these directions shall be ‘…only of a general nature…’
6.35 The Committee considers the Minister for Transport has a responsibility to raise with CASA the need for enhanced assessment and monitoring of cabin and cockpit air quality in Australian aircraft, with particular reference to the BAe 146. This appears to reflect overseas trends particularly with regard to examination, analysis and observation of the effects of the commercial jet aircraft cabin environment, including air quality, on pilots, crew and passengers.
