Dear David,
Re: LATSA II program audit findings
We have completed a brief audit review of the Software application only of the new LATSA II Program software as presented to the LiveAir AGM. This audit did not include the assessment
analysis and voracity or accuracy of the data used to formulate the models or examples used to develop the program as shown in the PowerPoint presentation at the AGM.
In brief, the results on the attachment from Exotan International highlight some major issues that render the program almost un-useable if you are required to make up an accurate shipment
profile, some of these include:
Item 1. Describes the C .Net language as suitable. Item2. There should be some concern of the usernames and password being
unencrypted. Item 3. This was one of many aircraft type Boeing747-300 Freighter examples that
highlighted the following issues: o
a. Carrier and Operator are not searchable; this makes it very awkward and time consuming to the exporter or operator to complete the document.
o b. Embarkation, Tech Stop Destination selections are searchable; this is OK.
o c. ECL, Consignee Flight No: are all free texts; these should be OK, however
would require some control in data entry. o
d. There is no checking of Embarkation Date and Destination Date. i.e.: It is possible to fly from Sydney to Amsterdam in 9 hours? ; This is completely
unacceptable as apart from the shipper, AQIS will need to know the precise duration of the flight.
o e. ‘Next’ button seems to have some delay and sometimes locks the web page
with ‘Loading’ ….being displayed. ; This can result in the loss of data and repetitious actions to finalize the load.
o f. Overloading the main hold with 500 cattle of 200kg. Weights it creates the
following error
Refer to attachment 1. ‘Message from Web Page’ when trying
to correct to 200 cattle of 200kg. Weights.

o g. If the main hold is loaded correctly, then it is possible to overload the forward
and aft lower holds thus enabling the plane to theoretically i.e.: 169,225kgs.; This exceeds the maximum payload capacity of an aircraft upward of 50,000kgs. For a
Boeing 747-400 freighter, and this also is simliar to all other model aircraft.
Refer to Attachment 2. ‘Consignments Load ‘
o h. If a passenger aircraft is selected everything goes as above until you enter the
number of animals required and try and update, the then site crashes;
Refer to Attachment 3. ‘Server Error in ‘’ Application’
o i. Also captured a network trace of a valid transaction and found the following
defects; this appears to be the cause of 3.e. “Server Error in’’ Application”.
Refer to Attachment 4. ‘Response. Redirect cannot be called in a Page call back’.
This would invalidate any data in the shipment. o
j. When viewed the Aircraft Ground Handling Checklist and the Exporters Report are displayed on a blank grey background, there is an option to email these to a
third party, there should also be an option to print as well?;
The aforementioned points are representative of a number of samples and would make the information and required data invalid. AQIS will not be able to reconcile the validity nor the
accuracy of the data, in addition the checklist is too complex and does not cover the critical key areas required for certification, the original LATSA 1 Checklist covers the required certification
details and is more user friendly. It is recommended that a revision and rewrite of the program be considered prior to presenting to
AQIS, as it does not comply with the original intent and exporter requirements. We would welcome your feedback,
Kind regards,
