  • Proposed amendment to allow access to the Obstacle Restriction Area (ORA) of an Aerodrome - (CD 2410AS)

    We’d like your feedback on proposed changes to the Part 139 Manual of Standards (MOS) relating to access to the Obstacle Restriction Area (ORA) of an aerodrome. There are key safety and maintenance activities that need to occur frequently within the ORA, particularly the Runway Strip. The Part 139 MOS unintentionally restricts these activities by requiring written approval by CASA. Following a review of the detail in the Part 139 MOS, we are proposing significant changes to...

  • Global reporting format and Part 139 Miscellaneous Amendments - (CD 2313AS)

    Runway safety, particularly runway excursions, is one of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) top aviation safety priorities. The third most common landing excursion risk factor is ineffective braking action, which can occur when there are contaminants on the runway such as snow, ice, slush or water. This risk factor is confirmed by the main aircraft manufacturers and the Flight Safety Foundation. To address the issue, the ICAO Friction Task Force developed a... More

  • Proposed Part 139 (aerodromes) transition strategy - (PP 1916AS)

    In order to facilitate a smooth transition for aerodrome operators to the new rule set, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has given a great deal of consideration to providing reasonable timelines and balance in terms of meeting the new regulatory requirements, while avoiding undue burden on existing aerodrome operators. Our objective is to ensure aerodromes can continue to operate while transition activities are undertaken. We are proposing delaying some of the new regulatory... More
