Dear Mr Reynolds

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the CAA on 22 September 2019 for the following information:

 

for the period 10 February 2019 to 31 July 2019, please state how many
enforcement actions there were - that's Infringement Notices, Written
Warnings, Prosecutions and, if more than 'none', please provide details.

 

The information you have requested is attached.  Five RPA investigations
were completed by the RIU between 10 February 2019 - 31 July 2019.  In
addition, regarding aviation related concerns for that time period:

 

o 6 letters were sent which could be considered warnings.  That is
situations where an individual was identified and there was some
evidence that could likely prove the offence if it were to go to
further.
o 14 educational letters/interventions were sent.  These were in
circumstances where the individual couldn't be properly identified or
there didn't appear to be evidence, or the circumstances didn't
warrant a warning.  In these situations, individuals might be sent an
educational letter sometimes accompanied by a phone call and
educational material.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review of this decision by
the Ombudsman.  Details on how to make a complaint are available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by Freephone on (0800) 802 602.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, feel free to contact me by email at [2][CAA request email] or by
telephone on (04) 460 6958.

Yours sincerely,
