This consultation is the second tranche of our review of legacy Australian airworthiness directives (ADs) for general aviation aircraft. It follows the earlier consultation on structural fatigue ADs .
Using the same policy framework, we have identified a category of Beechcraft wing bolt ADs for potential repeal and seek your feedback on those ADs.
Industry has previously told us that the Beechcraft wing bolt ADs create additional burden and cost. They also...More

This simplified process is achieved by upgrading the simulators with a less onerous software before 24 March 2021. From 25 March 2021, older simulators used for UPRT will incur a greater cost burden to upgrade to the latest standards, with little additional practical benefit.
Separately, a device qualified under FSD-1 could not be...More
Part 121 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) – Australian air transport operations – larger aeroplanes, and its Manual of Standards (MOS) will contain the specific safety rules for air transport operations in larger aeroplanes.
The rules in this consultation will apply to persons and operators who conduct multi-engine aeroplane air transport operations (including passenger, cargo and medical transport operations) with a maximum operational passenger seating capacity...More
In 2003, CASA aligned technical requirements for aeroplane flight simulators with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe (JAA) standards.
The Part 60 Manual of Standards (MOS) Chapter 3, was the result of a direct “cut and paste” of the standards detailed in:
ICAO Manual of Criteria for the Qualification of Flight Simulators, Doc 9625-AN/938 Second Edition...More
