djpil,
that very information is being reviewed as we speak.
Basically you need an ASIC for unescorted access airside to any Security Controlled Airport.
Some of the information presented on the CASA FAQ page is very poorly worded, contradictory and not in accordance with the security regs.
There is a lot more to section 3.15 of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations but ATSR
3.15 (3) states:
The responsible aviation industry participant for the airside area of the airport must ensure that the area can be entered only by:
(a) a person authorised to do so who:
(i) properly displays a valid ASIC; or
(ii) properly displays a valid VIC and is supervised by someone authorised to enter the area who properly displays a valid ASIC;
etc etc
You can't really be escorted once you get inside your aircraft and close the door.
Walrus,
Pretty good idea and makes a lot of sense. Dept of Infrastructure therefore will never go for it.
