Determine which appendices are applicable to your operation based on the type of operations you have authorisation to conduct.
Your operations manual needs to document the prescriptive limits applicable to all pilots. You must make sure these limits take into account the results of the fatigue hazard identification process. You must not also exceed those contained in the relevant appendix or appendices that apply to your operations.
Further guidance is available in Appendix A of CAAP 48-01 fatigue management for flight crew members.
Ensure any flight and duty periods, policies or procedures do not contravene the appendix or appendices that apply to your operations.
Adapt limitations by considering identified hazards to your operations.
Further guidance is available in Appendix C of CAAP 48-01; you can use it to develop content for an operations manual.
CASA has published sample operations manual fatigue supplements for each appendix that operators can use.
Operating under multiple appendices means either or both of the following:
If you plan to operate under multiple appendices you will need to develop procedures to manage pilots transitioning between appendices.
Further guidance is available in Appendix B of CAAP 48-01 fatigue management for flight crew members.
Operations under Appendices 2 to 6 include enhanced fatigue management obligations.
This includes developing:
Further guidance is available in:
You can integrate fatigue training with other training conducted by an operator. For example, human factors/non-technical skills training. To integrate training, you must:
Further guidance is available in:
You now need to consider individual variability, operational environment and workload. This includes:
Please note, an operator must determine and notify each of its pilots of their home base. This is unless the pilot only conducts operations under Appendix 5 or 5A of CAO 48.1.
Further guidance is available in Section 4 of CAAP 48-01.
Make sure your operations manual addresses the requirements under each Appendix. You can then submit your operations manual to us.
If you are also applying for an AOC or AOC variation, ensure your AOC application addresses the requirements of the Appendices you have determined under Step 1. Submit it with your AOC application documents including the worksheet and fill out the sections. These are filtered to the appendices to be operated to.

This will serve as evidence of compliance with CAO 48.1 and applicable appendices provisions.
You can withdraw your application in writing at any time. If you withdraw after we have reviewed your application, we will charge you for only the time we have already spent on your assessment.
We will send you an invoice or refund as applicable.
If you wish to change from or add an appendix to your operation, you need to submit an operations manual revision to us.
You should submit your operations manual amendments and include a summary of the changes to the manual.
If your fatigue management procedures form part of a larger operations manual document, submit the complete manual.
