AA1: Publish guidance on cybersecurity for RPAS
Create guidance material for assessing cybersecurity in low and medium-risk RPAS operations.
Principle: Balanced and socially responsible.
Guidance under review -
Draft guidance material is undergoing final review. We expect to publish it for consultation by end of August 2025.
AA2b: Publish airworthiness criteria and certification guidelines for piloted AAM
Work with international regulatory authorities to harmonise guidance on the certification of piloted AAM, airworthiness criteria and means of compliance.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
Hydrogen symposium -
We held a hydrogen and fuel cell airworthiness meeting on 26 February 2025. Industry shared key challenges and gaps in the regulations. This work supports regulations for AAM aircraft in Australia.
AA5: Progress the development of a fit for purpose continuing airworthiness policy for higher-risk RPAS
Review and update maintenance and continuing airworthiness policies for RPAS so they are appropriate as platforms increase in size and complexity. This includes consideration of maintenance personnel authorisations and continuing airworthiness management policies.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Continuing airworthiness -
We are working to improve outcomes for maintenance permissions required under the current rules (e.g., CASR 101.260, 101.265, 101.020, and CAO 100.24).
We are focused on ensuring the competency of maintenance personnel and achieving practical outcomes that reflect the aircraft type and risk of operation.
We encourage industry to provide feedback to their TWG representatives.
IN1: Develop guidance material, design requirements and rules for vertiports and other infrastructure required to support AAM operations
Develop guidance material, design requirements, and rules for vertiports and other infrastructure needed to support AAM operations. This initiative will ensure that facilities are safe, efficient, and able to meet AAM needs, helping integration into urban and regional environments.
Principle: Balanced and socially responsible.
Consultation commenced -
On 10 June 2025, we opened consultation on draft advisory circular (AC) 139.10 v1.0: Guidelines for vertical flight aircraft facilities at aerodromes designed for aeroplanes.
We intended the AC to provide guidance to aerodrome and aircraft operators in the planning, design and operation of facilities for both:
- helicopters
- vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capable aircraft (VCA).
It applies to facilities located on an aerodrome that the designers of which may have only designed for fixed-wing aeroplanes.
