addressing findings of the 2008 ICAO USOAP audit with respect to wake turbulence and visual separation requirements; and
- correcting a number of obsolete or non-standard entries in MOS Part 172.
The period for public comment on the proposals contained in the NPC closed on 19 March 2010.
Purpose
The purpose of this NFC is to provide details of comments received on the NPC, to provide CASA’s response to those comments, and to list the final changes to be made to MOS Part 172 and the Australian AIP, resulting from the NPC consultation process.
