Dear Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, I request the minutes and a formal summary of the meeting held between Oceania aviation and Civil aviation Authority on Monday the 26th Of February 2018.
1/ Since Westland air charter hold a valid Form one for a weld performed by an approved organisation, being Oceania.
2/ This would clarify the welding approvals granted by New Zealand Civil aviation authority against the recommendations of the Aircraft engine manufacturer Teledyne Continental.
3/ Furthermore, Civil aviation form one issued by an approved maintenance organisation and its legality given the OEM recomendations
Yours faithfully,

Dear OIA,To clarify the original request. Can you confirm CAA has no issues with Oceania and its contractors welding of aircraft crankcases , and if they did have a problem with that process, what have they done to remedy this?
Do CAA stand by Oceania and its welding process or not?
Yes or No will suffice
Yours sincerely,
Westland air charter ltd

Dear OIA,
Because you arent releasing minutes from this meeting, I expect you have information that is damaging to the CAA ,so there needs to be another line of enquiry to expose the CAA and its secrecy regarding this matter,here is what I suspect.
Oceania have issued a Form one ,[CAA release note of a kind,] without the backup engineering approvals,the CAA have not revoked that approval,not even a finding?
A bribe of some description has been allowed.
Yours sincerely,
Westland air charter ltd
