IN1: Develop guidance material, design requirements and rules for vertiports and other infrastructure required to support AAM operations
Updated 21 July 2025Consultation 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.

AM4a: Initial implementation to ease identified risks and support RPAS airspace integration
Updated 21 July 2025View Airspace and traffic management timeline
Expansion of AAAT -
We expanded the automated airspace authorisations trial (AAAT), a joint initiative by CASA and Airservices.
More than 1,400 automated flight authorisations have been processed. This has saved industry more than $1.2 million in application fees.
CASA continues to work with Airservices to expand authorisations to all civil-controlled aerodromes via FIMS at the end of 2025.
Future of automatic airspace authorisations -
Since 2021, CASA and Airservices Australia have been trialling automated airspace authorisations (AAA) for commercial drone operations at select civil controlled aerodromes.
Later this year, the trial will transition to a permanent flight authorisation service delivered through Airservices' Flight Information Management System (FIMS) and participating third party service providers.

AA5: Progress the development of a fit for purpose continuing airworthiness policy for higher-risk RPAS
Updated 21 July 2025View Aircraft and aircraft systems timeline
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.
