Project CS 04/05
Mandatory compliance with country-of-origin ADs

Purpose/Objectives

CASA currently issues Australian Airworthiness Directives (ADs) under CASR Part 39 to mandate ADs and other mandatory airworthiness information issued by a State of Design. This practice aligns with Part 39 in the USA where the Federal Aviation Administration issues its own ADs to mandate foreign ADs. However, many other aviation authorities have recently introduced legislation to automatically adopt country-of-origin ADs, either for all or certain types of aircraft on their registers.

This project will consider amending CASR Part 39 to allow for automatic acceptance of country-of-origin ADs for Australian-registered aircraft.
