Part 175 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR) sets out the requirements for managing aeronautical information. This is based on the International Civil Aviation Organization's Annex 15 Aeronautical Information Services (AIS). Additionally, Part 175 allows for approval of commercial data service providers, places requirements on aeronautical data originators and facilitates the collection of obstacle data.
Part 175:
- allows CASA to approve AIS providers and data service providers
- allows data service providers to be approved to publish aeronautical data and aeronautical information that can be used instead of the AIP
- allows data service providers to be approved to supply aeronautical data for air navigation databases
- Places requirements on aeronautical data originators for the supply of data and information to the AIS provider
- Allows Airservices Australia to collect obstacle data from organisations that possess it e.g. aerodromes.
