The Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Subpart 175.C (Data Service Providers) technical assessor handbook documents are for use by our technical assessors. They set out the standards and requirements for Data Service Providers.
Data Service Providers are persons authorised to publish or supply data pilots can use as an alternative to:
- the Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP)
- aeronautical charts.
Data Service Providers can also supply data for use in aeronautical navigation databases for:
- Flight Management Computers
- Flight Management Systems
- Global Navigation Satellite Systems.
The documents guide our officers when assessing an application for a Subpart 175.C certificate. They ensure a consistent method for:
- assessing compliance with the regulations
- documenting decisions we make.
We have published the guidance for reference only. It provides people in the aviation industry with an overview of the technical assessment. It does not detail the complete assessment process and only focuses on the elements required by the regulations.
They consist of the following documents:
- CASR Subpart 175.C technical assessor handbook
- Worksheet (DSP.175) - Subpart 175.C Data Service Providers
The worksheet contains the minimum criteria we consider when making a technical assessment.
