Its the approved assessment by the approved assessor has been assessed for approval in accordance with the approved assessment requirements of the approved assessement by the approved assessor?

The approved assesse's approved assessor's approved assessment assesses that the approved assessment by the approved assessor is not in approved accordance with the approved assesse MOS, but the approved assessor disagrees with the approved assessment by the approved assesse and asks for an approved reassessment of the approved assessment of whether the approved assessors approved assessment was in approved accordance with the approved (or is that accepted) assessment manual?

More importantly, if you initial in error, and erase the initials, should you initial the erasure.
......and that's officially official.

as a result of djpil's prompting I went back to the casa web site to find the real part 91.

I searched and I can't find it. so I'm assuming that since I can't find it it doesn't apply to me.

oh that's such a relief.

.....seriously I can't locate the rules.

I assume all the comments posted here have been sent to CASA formally.

Dont expect any changes if you don't address them in the correct manner 😀

Duckie,
Presumably on the approved form, using the approved format of approved language and expecting an approving response.
Best of luck.
Tootle pip!!

PS:
Seriously, folks, a lot of effort in your NPRM responses, please, politely vigorous and detailed. Don’t leave it to “somebody else”, weight of numbers is important. A lot of effort went into forcing the NPRM system on CASA, don't waste it.

Don't just use the "approved" response form or the tick a box (bit like a multi choice) with very limited room for comment.

Demand that each and everything you object to, to be assessed against the Government rule making criteria, where regulation is the last option, not the first, and cost/benefit must be proven positive. A Regulatory Impact Statement is not nearly enough, all that tells you is how much CASA thinks it is going to cost, and that is often wildly wrong, witness Part 61.

Better still, demand that the whole of Part 91 be justified under the Government's mandatory regulation making Red Tape Reduction criteria, regulation is the last resort.

And copy your NPRM response, with a covering letter, to your local Federal member, the Minister, and Senators Fawcett, Sterle,Heffernan and Xenophon. Remember, twenty or thirty responses on a single subject, on a members desk is "an avalanche of public opinion".

Thumbs up

I sent a few comments in via email the other day and got a positive response today. There are no online forms to fill out. Sure you are responding to the correct link?

Leadie,
You use the word presumably???? In all seriousness you obviously have no idea of the process! It's not hard to reply.... Just send an email to the link/person!

Formality is via an email stating you concerns in a professional context. It isn't hard! If there is a special link please post here for us dumb people.

Duckie,
I understand in very great detail just how the NPRM system works, after all, I helped set it up in the first place.
Tootle pip!!

PS: Your sense of humour is offline, try rebooting it!!

It looks like those that fly private operations, night VFR are going to be disappointed. There is virtually no difference in the required instruments for IFR compared to VFR at night.

For instance the new part 91 rules require heated Pitot and a means of detecting that it inst working as well as many other things

(a) A system to indicate speed must:
(i) include a means to prevent malfunctioning due to condensation or icing; and
(ii) include an indicator to warn of the failure of the means to prevent malfunctioning;
Compare this with the requirements in the USA from FAR 91.205:

(b) Visual-flight rules (day). For VFR flight during the day, the following instruments and equipment are required:
(1) Airspeed indicator.
(2) Altimeter.
(3) Magnetic direction indicator.
(4) Tachometer for each engine.
(5) Oil pressure gauge for each engine using pressure system.
(6) Temperature gauge for each liquid-cooled engine.
(7) Oil temperature gauge for each air-cooled engine.
(8) Manifold pressure gauge for each altitude engine.
(9) Fuel gauge indicating the quantity of fuel in each tank.
(10) Landing gear position indicator, if the aircraft has a retractable landing gear.
(11) For small civil airplanes certificated after March 11, 1996, in accordance with part 23 of this chapter, an approved aviation red or aviation white anticollision light system. In the event of failure of any light of the anticollision light system, operation of the aircraft may continue to a location where repairs or replacement can be made.
(12) If the aircraft is operated for hire over water and beyond power-off gliding distance from shore, approved flotation gear readily available to each occupant and, unless the aircraft is operating underpart 121 of this subchapter, at least one pyrotechnic signaling device. As used in this section, “shore” means that area of the land adjacent to the water which is above the high water mark and excludes land areas which are intermittently under water.
(13) An approved safety belt with an approved metal-to-metal latching device for each occupant 2 years of age or older.
(14) For small civil airplanes manufactured after July 18, 1978, an approved shoulder harness for each front seat. The shoulder harness must be designed to protect the occupant from serious head injury when the occupant experiences the ultimate inertia forces specified in§ 23.561(b)(2) of this chapter. Each shoulder harness installed at a flight crewmember station must permit the crewmember, when seated and with the safety belt and shoulder harness fastened, to perform all functions necessary for flight operations. For purposes of this paragraph—
(i) The date of manufacture of an airplane is the date the inspection acceptance records reflect that the airplane is complete and meets the FAA-approved type design data; and
(ii) A front seat is a seat located at a flight crewmember station or any seat located alongside such a seat.
(15) An emergency locator transmitter, if required by§ 91.207.
(16) For normal, utility, and acrobatic category airplanes with a seating configuration, excluding pilot seats, of 9 or less, manufactured after December 12, 1986, a shoulder harness for—
(i) Each front seat that meets the requirements of§ 23.785 (g) and (h) of this chapter in effect on December 12, 1985;
(ii) Each additional seat that meets the requirements of§ 23.785(g) of this chapter in effect on December 12, 1985.
(17) For rotorcraft manufactured after September 16, 1992, a shoulder harness for each seat that meets the requirements of§ 27.2 or § 29.2 of this chapter in effect on September 16, 1991.

(c) Visual flight rules (night). For VFR flight at night, the following instruments and equipment are required:
(1) Instruments and equipment specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
(2) Approved position lights.
(3) An approved aviation red or aviation white anticollision light system on all U.S.-registered civil aircraft. Anticollision light systems initially installed after August 11, 1971, on aircraft for which a type certificate was issued or applied for before August 11, 1971, must at least meet the anticollision light standards ofpart 23, 25, 27, or 29 of this chapter, as applicable, that were in effect on August 10, 1971, except that the color may be either aviation red or aviation white. In the event of failure of any light of the anticollision light system, operations with the aircraft may be continued to a stop where repairs or replacement can be made.
(4) If the aircraft is operated for hire, one electric landing light.
(5) An adequate source of electrical energy for all installed electrical and radio equipment.
(6) One spare set of fuses, or three spare fuses of each kind required, that are accessible to the pilot in flight.
