10 Nov 15. CASA extends time lines by 12 months.
Transition period for flying training organisations extended to 31 August 2018
CASA has announced a 12 month extension for flying training organisations to transition to new aviation rules.
Organisations who were undertaking flying training activities before 1 September 2014 will now have until 31 August 2018 to transition to the new rules, contained in Parts 141 and 142 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations.
The extension will give CASA more time to provide the aviation community with additional support through the provision of improved guidance material, sample manuals and example syllabuses to minimise costs associated with transition.
During the extended transition CASA will continue to address valid issues associated with the new Flight Crew Licensing Suite and will provide the aviation community with greater knowledge and understanding around the new rule set.
CASA will continue working with flying training organisations to help facilitate a smooth transition before 31 August 2018. Flying training organisations may anticipate being contacted personally by their respective Regional Office to discuss transitional arrangements in the coming weeks.
More information about the transition process is available on the CASA website.
