These changes aim to improve consistency for flight review and proficiency check validity periods and provide greater flexibility in achieving these requirements. They would also incorporate longstanding exemptions which support the FCL regulations, and correct minor errors.

Legislation

The amendments apply to Parts 61 and 141 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) and Part 5 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR).

They would incorporate the effect of several Parts of CASA EX32/24 (specifically Parts 4, 5, 15 and 17) and CASA EX76/24 into the FCL regulations.

Find out more about the proposed changes and have your say at the CASA Consultation Hub. The consultation closes on 27 August 2025.
