These guides are designed to support fixed-wing and helicopter pilots, flight training providers, aerial work operators, and air transport operators. They consolidate regulations, manuals of standards, exemptions, instruments, and other essential guidance into a single, accessible resource.

The guides incorporate industry feedback we received after we released the digital versions, ensuring they address the needs of the aviation community effectively.

By simplifying the rules and requirements, the guides save aviation professionals from the hassle of searching through multiple documents to find critical information. They present regulatory details in plain language, making it easier to understand licensing requirements and privileges.

The guides provide practical information to help you:

  • understand the purposes, functions, and key concepts of licensing
  • apply for a pilot licence, rating, or endorsement
  • navigate the privileges and limitations of Part 61 licences, ratings, and endorsements
  • address unique circumstances, such as overseas or Australian Defence Force (ADF) recognition and aircraft radio operations.

You can purchase the printed guides for $2.95 from our online store or download them for free.
