Part 132 of CASR sets out the requirements for limited category aircraft operations. It preserves the requirements under previous regulations (262AN and 262AM of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988) but contains some important administrative and safety enhancements.

Overall, Part 132 sets out:
  • the conditions under which various limited category aircraft operations may be conducted
  • the responsibilities of persons involved in limited category aircraft operations
  • the offences that relate to breaching the conditions for limited category aircraft operations.
This Part provides flexibility and certainty around recreational use of warbirds and limited category historic or replica aircraft. It permits air racing and glider towing, and provides authorisation for personal flights. It also permits the limited category aircraft with any of the following to be eligible for a limited category certificate for personal flights (not adventure flights for payment or reward) as long as these are not conducted over populous areas:
  • unapproved major modifications
  • expired airframe fatigue life
  • life limited components that have exceeded their life limits.
Safety requirements include:
  • an extra safety briefing at the point of sale for any adventure flight as well as before boarding
  • limits to passenger numbers
  • conditions for flights over populous areas.
Good to see clear, unambiguous rules from CASA, no room for confusion there when compared with the FAA.
