CASA exam material provided and required
Introduction
All CASA flight crew exams require material that may be provided by the supervisor or/and (required to be) supplied by the candidate him/herself.
Exam material 'provided' will be the responsibility of the approved supervisor. Material 'required' of the candidate shall be the responsibility of the candidate.
Material provided
All material provided including scribble pads must be returned to the supervisor on completion of the exam.
The candidate
The candidate is responsible for ascertaining what material will be provided and required of an exam. Unless otherwise stated, all exam material, such as Regulations, Orders and air publications shall be current for the date of exam sitting.
Not permitted material
What is not listed for the exam type may NOT be brought into the exam session. Material NOT permitted include, but are not just restricted to:
- Dictionaries of any kind
- Commercial indexes for CASA Regulations, Orders and the AIP
- Manuals, publications, text, training books, notes, blank paper or any type of forms
- Electronic devices including calculators, pagers, mobile telephones, cassette player, walkman, iPOD and such devices, laptops or notebooks, etc. Pagers and mobile telephones must be switched off and left with the supervisors prior to the commencement of the exam sessions.
Self printed copies of CARs, CAOs and CAAPs downloaded from the CASA website are acceptable subject to the following:
- The documents are approved for use in the particular examination, and are secured in a ring bound folder.
- The CARs, CAOs and CAAPs do not contain manuscript material, and are in separate and clearly marked folders.
- The folders do not contain other documents or notes.
CD-ROM of aviation legislation is not an acceptable alternative as the use of personal laptop or computer notebooks of any kind is not permitted during examinations.
Material always permitted
A pen, pencil and eraser, and a ruler in exams requiring plotting and graphical work, will be permitted.
Markings in permitted documents
Underlining, highlighting and flagging (labelling only) are permissible provided there is no training note/instruction.
CAR
The CAR required in flight crew exams is the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR). Other than for the CPL Balloon Air Law exam (CLWB) and the aeroplane agricultural rating exam (AGRA), the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) is NOT required nor permitted.
AIP complete
The term 'CASA documents or publications' shall include those documents or publications produced by Air Services Australia for safe navigation.
The term 'AIP Complete' may be found in an Exam Information Book. This includes all the following documents:
- AIP Book, including AIP SUP
- En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA) and Runway Distances Supplement
- Departure and Approach Procedures (DAP) East and West
- All Terminal Area Charts (TAC)
- All En Route Charts (ERC) Low & High
- Planning Chart (AUS PCA)
AIP book
The designation 'AIP Book' in the previous paragraph, 1st bullet point, refers ONLY to the AIP textbook containing Part 1 - GENERAL (GEN), Part 2 - ENROUTE (ENR), Part 3 - AERODROMES (AD), INDEX and any AIP SUP, but does NOT include documents listed in the other bullet points.
VFG
The VFR Flight Guide (VFG) is permitted for PPL exams only.
Alternative to AIP
CASA permits the use of Jeppesen as an alternative document to CASA AIP, with this advice:
As provided under CAR 233(1)(h), on a candidate's own preference, the JEPPESEN AIRWAY MANUAL may be used as the examination reference in place of AIP, but if any differences between AIP and JEPPESEN documents result in the selection of incorrect answer(s), CASA will NOT accept this consequence as a basis for re-mark
Either AIP or Jeppesen documents may be used, but NOT both
What Constitutes ERSA
The word ERSA by itself means only the publication En Route Supplement Australia.
The term ERSA 'complete' also includes the Runway Distances Supplement. ERSA 'complete' is only required for CPL and ATPL exams.
Nav Equipment
When permitted, the term 'Nav equipment' includes:
- Dividers
- Compass
- Protractor
- Ruler (or straight-edge)
- non-electronic 'aviation wind triangle and circular slide rule' computer. eg Jeppesen Sanderson CR or other brands of similar type or a manual slide rule (if the candidate so prefers it)
(Only one of the manual pilot computers may be taken in)
(Electronic flight planning device/computer is NOT permitted in place of Jeppesen CR or a manual slide rule)
(Candidates should read the Exam Information Book, where available, for more detailed description of permissible nav equipment.)
Electronic calculators
Except for PPLA, PPLH and PIFR, ASL will provide the electronic calculator for those exams allowed this device. For professional exams, personal calculator is NOT permitted.
