Project FS 99/02 - CASR Part 61: Flight crew licensing

Closure notes

Project closed 5 May 2015.

This project has been closed following the making of the Flight Crew Licensing Regulations and subsequent amendments.

Regulation Date
Civil Aviation Order (Flight Crew Licensing) Repeal and Amendment Instrument 2014 (No. 1) 27 August 2014
Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Flight Crew Licensing) Regulation 2014 21 August 2014
Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Flight Crew Licensing and Other Matters) Regulation 2013 12 December 2013
Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment (Flight Crew Licensing Suite) Regulation 2013 21 November 2013
Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 (No 1) 14 February 2013

The outcome of consultations conducted during this project are reflected in the regulations and amendments. The requirement for an NFRM to finalise these consultations has been superseded by CASA's initiation of a post-implementation review (PIR) for the Flight Crew Licensing Parts. Project FS 14/25 continues the work of FS 99/02 under the auspices of the Part 61 PIR.

Comments received following the implementation of the Flight Crew Licensing regulations are being addresseed through the Flight Crew Licensing Standards Sub-committee and PIR working groups - to listen to feedback and respond directly to industry concerns.

Issue

Australian flight crew licensing regulations and orders relating to pilot qualifications will be reviewed and rewritten into the new Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 61.

Objective

To prescribe the requirements and standards for the issue of flight crew licences, ratings and other authorisations, including those issued to pilots and flight engineers. It will also include the privileges, limitations and conditions on such authorisations, and include rules for the logging of flight time.

Status

This initial project was approved and announced 1999.

Rules affected

CASR Part 61.

Project management

Project Leader: Mike Juelg
Project Sponsor: Peter Boyd, Executive Manager, Standards Division
