Why your views matter

We have made substantial amendments to this AC and are seeking feedback from industry and the public before the AC is published.

The content of this AC is designed to assist the creation or alteration of electrical load analysis design under Part 21 of CASR. The corresponding AWB 24-7 on Electrical Load will be amended to suit the content of this AC and provide information for licensed aircraft maintenance engineers to use when conducting testing on aircraft for electrical load analysis.

A copy of the draft advisory circular is provided below. You can read the document on this screen using the scroll bar or save it to your computer using the popup options. Annex A to this AC is available in the 'related documents' section at the end of this page.
