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 |

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 The requirement for an NFRM to finalise these consultations has been superseded by CASA's initiation of a post-implementation review (PIR) for the Flight Crew Licensing Parts.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.
