Licensing regulations

 

Exemption to allow pilots to log co-pilot flight time extended

 

We’ve extended an exemption to allow pilots to log co-pilot flight time when operating single-pilot certificated aircraft. The new exemption expires on 30 June 2021. View the exemption (CASA EX 79/18) on the Federal Register of Legislation website.

 

Consultations

 

Maintenance of limited category aircraft

 

We commenced consultation on Subpart 132.M regarding the maintenance of limited category aircraft. Previous consultation on this topic has proposed the development of the subpart, subject to a review of the full policy detail. Feedback can be provided through the Consultation hub by 13 July 2018.

 

Supplemental oxygen requirements – summary of consultation

 

We published a summary of consultation on Draft CAAP 20.4-01 v1.0 - Supplemental oxygen requirements for cabin crew members in pressurised aircraft operating at flight level 250 and below. You can view the published responses on our Consultation hub.

 

Instruments

 

Prescription of type ratings – Part 142

 

We have published an instrument which excludes certain activities from being conducted under CASR Part 142. Edition 6 of the CASR Part 142 Training Instrument 2018 adds or modifies 11 helicopter type ratings and seven aeroplane type ratings. Type rating training for these single pilot aircraft is now a Part 141 activity. View the amended instrument on the Federal Register of Legislation website.

 

To support these changes we have also published an approval instrument to enable operators, currently authorised under Part 142, to continue to conduct the flight training on affected aircraft until they are issued a new Part 141 certificate.

 

Guidance and advisory material

 

Experimental certificates

 

We updated an advisory circular related to experimental certificates. This made a minor correction of the definition of authorised person to match the regulations. Read AC 21-10 – Experimental certificates.

 

Projects

 

Amendments to Part 66 Manual of Standards

 

We opened a project to consider amendments to Part 66 Manual of Standards (MOS). This project intends to make miscellaneous amendments, editorial and/or machinery changes. Read more about Project MS 18/04.
