- Acrobatic category sailplanes and powered sailplanes — these are sailplanes and powered sailplanes intended for acrobatic operation.

CASR Part 22 affects people who:
- design sailplanes and powered sailplanes to be used in the Australian aviation environment, or
- design modifications and repairs for sailplanes and powered sailplanes.
