Changing the rules

Under development
CASR Part 60 Subpart C – Basic instrument flight trainers

Key proposals

Synthetic Trainers

The maintenance, or development, of a unique Australian standard for synthetic trainers is not supportable. The following is proposed:

  • Existing synthetic trainers can retain their approvals whilst they maintain the standard that they were originally qualified against.
  • Additional units of currently approved synthetic trainer models (hardware / software configuration) can continue to be approved.
  • New synthetic trainer models must meet either the relevant FAA or JAA standard.

Who Part 60 affects

  • Air Transport operators;
  • training and checking organisations;
  • flight training organisations;
  • pilots undergoing training; and
  • organisations who design, manufacture and supply STDs.
