Incorporated manuals

52. Many Parts of CASR are supported by a Manual of Standards that contains detailed technical material, such as technical specifications and standards. The text of a Manual is often incorporated in CASR by reference. There will usually be a definition of ‘Manual’, ‘Manual of Standards’ or ‘MOS’ (probably followed by a reference to a Part of CASR), which will say something like:

‘For this Part (that is, Part of the Regulations):

MOS Part 43 means the document called Manual of Standards — Part 43, published by CASA, as in force from time to time’.

Note that for a particular Part of CASR, only part of the Manual may be incorporated, and that part of the relevant Manual is what ‘Manual’ or ‘MOS’ will mean for that Part.

53. A Manual may be amended from time to time, but the amendments will be done in a similar way to amendments to CASR or CAR (for the procedure, see paragraphs 79 to 91A of this Guide).

[2]Guide, paragraph 79

substitute

79. This section sets out how you can ask CASA for a change to CASR or CAR or a Manual incorporated by reference in CASR, and what CASA will do in processing your request.

[3]Guide, paragraphs 83 to 91

substitute

83. Before taking any action, CASA will consider any comments received about the subject of your request, and will tell you whether they propose to go ahead with a change or not, and the reasons for the decision.

84. The next stage is formulation of the draft proposal and public consultation on it. CASA is required by section 16 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 to consult with ‘government, commercial, industrial, consumer and other relevant bodies and organisations (including ICAO and bodies representing the aviation industry)’.

85. The basic procedure for consultation on a proposed legislative change is as follows:

  1. ·

    CASA publishes a notice of its intention to make a rule, and the availability of the proposed rule, in a national newspaper and on its website

  2. ·

    the actual rulemaking proposal is released publicly as a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), which sets out the proposed change and supporting information

  3. ·

    anybody interested has a reasonable time (normally 8 weeks) to comment.

The procedure for consultation on a change to a manual is similar except that the formal notice is called a Notice of Proposed Change (NPC).

86. An NPRM will include the actual text of the proposed legislative change, as drafted by the Office of Legislative Drafting of the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department. The NPRM will also include:

  1. ·

    an introductory statement (‘Foreword’) extending an invitation to comment on the proposal

  2. ·

    background information, including a description of the problem addressed and why rule-making is necessary

  3. ·

    the objectives of the proposed rule

  4. ·

    the options that were considered and the constraints making them viable or not

  5. ·

    an impact analysis setting out the advantages and disadvantages of those options, and a description of the subjects and issues involved

  6. ·

    a Guide on how to comment (including addresses).

It may also include copies of proposed supporting material such as the relevant draft Manual of Standards or guidance or advisory material. An NPC is similarly organised but the proposed change document is drafted by technical specialists from CASA’s Aviation Safety Standards Division.

87. The notice will also give the date by which comments must be submitted, and where to send comments. There will be a response sheet in the NPRM or NPC, and you are urged to use it in responding. There is also an online response system at:

Requests for extension of time to comment should be sent to CASA no later than 2 days before the announced expiry time. It may not be possible in a particular case to allow an extension of time to comment. However, extensions are normally granted if you have a substantive interest in the proposed change and a good reason for the extension. Bear in mind that extending the time for comment will delay the process.

89. Anybody can make a comment on a proposed change. Comments must be in writing and should preferably be submitted on the response form.

90. CASA will register all comments made. After the time for comments (or any extension of it) expires, CASA will evaluate all the comments received, and publish a summary of those comments, CASA’s response to them, the action taken, CASA’s policy, the action being taken, the finalised draft legislation or manual change, and any associated guidance and supporting materials.

91. Finally, for changes to CASR or CAR only, the Minister for Transport and Regional Services must decide whether to recommend to the Governor-General that the proposed amending Regulations be made. If the Minister approves the proposed change, he or she submits the text of the proposed amending Regulations to the Governor-General for making as Regulations. After the proposed Regulations are made, a notice of their making is published in the Commonwealth Gazette, and copies of the official text are made available. The Regulations are also tabled in each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days after making, and then within a further 15 sitting days any Member or Senator can move to disallow them.

91A. Authority to issue a MOS rests with the Director of Aviation Safety.

1.008Inconsistency between MOS and Act or Regulations

  1. (1)

    In this regulation:

MOS has the same meaning as in Subpart 11.J.

  1. (2)

    If there is an inconsistency between a MOS and a provision of the Act or these Regulations, the provision of the Act or these Regulations prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

Note A MOS (Manual of Standards) is a document that supports CASR by providing detailed technical material, such as technical specifications or standards. See generally ‘Incorporated Manuals’ (paragraphs 52 and 53) in the Guide.

Subpart 11.BApplications

11.020Effect of this Subpart

The requirements of this Subpart in relation to an application for a particular kind of authorisation are in addition to any requirements of the Part or Subpart that deals with the kind of authorisation.

11.025Application of this Subpart to authorised representatives

If CASR allows an application for an authorisation to be made to an authorised representative, a reference in this Subpart to CASA includes, in relation to such an application, an authorised representative to whom such an application is made.

11.030When application taken to be complete

  1. (1)

    An application for an authorisation is not taken to have been made unless:

    1. (a)

      it is made in the manner approved by CASA for that purpose; and

    2. (b)

      it includes all the information required by CASR; and

    3. (c)

      it is accompanied by every document required by CASR; and

    4. (d)

      if a fee is payable for the application — that fee has been paid.

Note It is an offence to make a false statement in, or supply a false or misleading document with, an application — see the Criminal Code, sections 137.1 and 137.2.

  1. (2)

    If another provision of CASR requires a holder of an authorisation to have an approved or accepted manual, an application for such an authorisation is not taken to have been made until the applicant gives to CASA a copy of a draft of an appropriate manual.

11.035Other things CASA can ask applicant to do — test or interview

  1. (1)

    In this regulation:

test includes a written, oral or on-line examination and a practical assessment.

  1. (2)

    If CASA reasonably needs to interview or test an applicant who is an individual (including a member of a partnership) for the purpose of satisfying itself about a matter or matters referred to in paragraph 11.055 (1) (a), (b), (c) or (d), CASA may by written notice ask the applicant to:

    1. (a)

      undertake a test or tests of knowledge, skill or competence relevant to the application; or

    2. (b)

      come to a specified CASA office at a specified time to be interviewed.

  2. (3)

    The time of interview and the CASA office specified in a notice under paragraph (2) (b) must be reasonable in the circumstances.

  3. (4)

    In the case of an applicant that is a corporation, CASA may by written notice ask the applicant to have a specified officer or officers of the applicant do anything mentioned in paragraph (2) (a) or (b).

  4. (5)

    CASA must give to the applicant a copy of the record of any test (including the testing officer’s assessment of the competence of the person tested), or the record of any interview, conducted under subregulation (2) or (4).

  5. (6)

    However, subregulation (5) does not require CASA to return marked examination papers or give copies of marked examination papers.

11.040Other things CASA can ask applicant to do — provide more information

  1. (1)

    If CASA reasonably needs more information or another document to allow it to consider an application, CASA may by written notice ask the applicant to give to it information, or a copy of a document, specified in the request.

  2. (2)

    CASA may ask an applicant to provide evidence as to the applicant’s financial standing and financial capacity if there would be likely to be an adverse effect on the safety of air navigation if the applicant were granted the authorisation applied for and either did not have the resources to carry out the functions of the authorisation or were afterwards unable to continue trading.

11.045Other things CASA can ask applicant to do — demonstrate a service or facility

If another provision of CASR says that this regulation applies in relation to a particular kind of authorisation, CASA may by written notice require an applicant for an authorisation of that kind:

  1. (a)

    to give a practical demonstration of its ability to provide the relevant service; or

  2. (b)

    to demonstrate the operation of a facility to be used in the course of providing the service; or

  3. (c)

    to allow CASA to inspect any relevant facility or equipment (whether or not it is operating).

11.050Material that CASA may or must take into account

  1. (1)

    In making a decision on an application, CASA may take into account:

    1. (a)

      anything in the application or in any other document submitted by the applicant; and

    2. (b)

      the record or results of any test or interview under regulation 11.035; and

    3. (c)

      anything else in its records about the applicant; and

    4. (d)

      the results of any demonstration or inspection under regulation 11.045.

  2. (2)

    However, if CASA proposes to take into account anything adverse to an applicant in its records, CASA must, before making a decision adverse to the applicant (including a decision to grant the application sought but to do so subject to a condition not sought by the applicant):

    1. (a)

      tell the applicant in writing that it intends to take the material into account, and the substance of what it intends to take into account; and

    2. (b)

      invite the applicant in writing to make, within a specified reasonable time, a written submission about the matter.

  3. (3)

    If the applicant makes such a submission within the specified time, CASA must take the submission into account.

  4. (4)

    When deciding whether to grant a new authorisation to an applicant who or that held, or was otherwise connected with, an authorisation (or a right, licence or permission similar to an authorisation granted under CAR or the law of another country) that was cancelled otherwise than at the request of the holder, CASA must take into account:

    1. (a)

      the fact of the cancellation; and

    2. (b)

      the reasons for the cancellation, as given by the cancelling authority at the time of the cancellation; and

    3. (c)

      any evidence that the applicant submits about the applicant’s capacity to exercise the powers or privileges or carry out the functions that would be conferred by the authorisation applied for, if it were granted.

  5. (5)

    For subregulation (4), an applicant was connected with an authorisation (including a right, licence or permission similar to an authorisation granted under CAR or the law of another country) if:

    1. (a)

      where the applicant is an individual (including a member of a partnership) — the applicant was a member or officer of the holder of the authorisation; or

    2. (b)

      where the applicant is a corporation — an officer of the applicant was a member or officer of the holder of the authorisation.

  6. (6)

    When considering an application referred to in subregulation (4), CASA is not obliged to reconsider, or inquire into the circumstances of, the cancellation.

11.055Grant of authorisation

  1. (1)

    Subject to section 30A and paragraphs 30DY (2) (b), 30DZ (2) (b) and 30EC (2) (b) of the Act, if a person has applied for the grant of an authorisation in accordance with CASR, CASA must grant the authorisation if:

    1. (a)

      the person meets the criteria specified in CASR for the grant of the authorisation; and

    2. (b)

      any other requirements in relation to the person specified in CASR for the grant of the authorisation are met; and

    3. (c)

      CASR does not forbid CASA granting the authorisation in the particular case; and

    4. (d)

      granting the authorisation would not be likely to have an adverse effect on the safety of air navigation.

Note Section 30A of the Act allows the Court to make an order excluding a person from a particular aviation activity. Such an order has the effect that the person may not hold a civil aviation authorisation to undertake the activity while the order is in force.

  1. (2)

    In paragraph (1) (a), a reference to meeting the criteria for the grant of an authorisation includes (in the case of an applicant who is an individual):

    1. (a)

      having any qualifications required by or under CASR for the grant of the authorisation; and

    2. (b)

      having any experience required by or under CASR for that grant; and

    3. (c)

      having successfully completed any training required by or under CASR for that grant; and

    4. (d)

      if there is a requirement as to recency or currency of the applicant’s training or experience — meeting that requirement; and

    5. (e)

      if a standard of medical fitness is required by or under CASR for that grant:

      1. (i)

        having attained that standard; and

      2. (ii)

        having been granted any medical certificate required; and

    6. (f)

      if particular attributes of character are required by or under CASR for that grant — having those attributes; and

    7. (g)

      if a standard of proficiency in an activity is required by or under CASR for that grant — meeting that standard of proficiency.

  2. (3)

    If CASR limits in any way the number of authorisations of the relevant kind that may be granted, CASA may refuse to grant the authorisation if the limit will be exceeded if the authorisation is granted.

  3. (4)

    In deciding whether granting an authorisation to an applicant would be likely to have an adverse effect on the safety of air navigation, CASA may take into account:

    1. (a)

      the applicant’s record of compliance with regulatory requirements (in Australia or elsewhere) relating to aviation safety and other transport safety; and

    2. (b)

      the applicant’s demonstrated attitude towards compliance with regulatory requirements (in Australia or elsewhere) relating to aviation safety and other transport safety; and

    3. (c)

      the applicant’s experience (if any) in aviation; and

    4. (d)

      the applicant’s knowledge of the regulatory requirements applicable to civil aviation in Australia; and

    5. (e)

      the applicant’s history, if any, of serious behavioural problems; and

    6. (f)

      any conviction (other than a spent conviction, within the meaning of Part VIIC of the Crimes Act 1914) of the applicant (in Australia or elsewhere) for a transport safety offence; and

    1. (g)

      any evidence held by CASA that the applicant has contravened:

      1. (i)

        the Act, CASR or CAR; or

      2. (ii)

        a law of another country relating to aviation safety; or

      3. (iii)

        another law (of Australia or of another country) relating to transport safety; and

    2. (h)

      in the case of an authorisation referred to in subregulation 11.040 (2), the applicant’s financial standing and financial stability; and

    3. (i)

      any other matter relating to the fitness of the applicant to hold the authorisation.

  1. (5)

    For the application of paragraphs (4) (a) to (i) in relation to an applicant that is a corporation, references to the applicant include each of the officers (other than employees) of the applicant.

  2. (6)

    For the application of paragraphs (4) (a) to (i) in relation to an applicant that is a member of a partnership, references to the applicant include each of the other members of the partnership.

  3. (7)

    CASA may grant the authorisation in respect of only some of the matters sought in the application.

  4. (8)

    CASA may grant an authorisation subject to:

    1. (a)

      any conditions applicable to the authorisation under CASR; and

    2. (b)

      any other condition necessary in the interests of the safety of air navigation.

Note 1 The Act directly authorises the imposition of conditions on an AOC (Act, sections 28BA and 28BB).

Note 2 The conditions applicable to an authorisation may be set out in a document called an Operational Specification that forms part of the authorisation document.

11.060Notice of decision

  1. (1)

    After making a decision on an application, CASA must:

    1. (a)

      if the decision was to grant the authorisation applied for, and not to impose any condition not sought by the applicant:

      1. (i)

        send or give to the applicant a document that is evidence that the applicant holds the authorisation; or

      2. (ii)

        if there is no such document, tell the applicant in writing that the applicant has been approved; or

    2. (b)

      if the decision was to refuse to grant the authorisation, or to impose a condition not sought by the applicant — tell the applicant in writing, as soon as practicable, of the decision, and the reasons for it.

Note Most decisions in relation to authorisations are reviewable by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal — see section 31 of the Act, regulation 297A of CAR and regulation 201.004. Section 27A of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 requires that a person affected by a reviewable decision be given notice of the existence of the right of review.

  1. (2)

    A failure by CASA to comply with paragraph (1) (b) in relation to a decision does not invalidate the decision.

11.065When authorisation comes into effect

An authorisation comes into effect:

  1. (a)

    on a day stated for that purpose in a document that is evidence of the holding of the authorisation, or in any relevant notice under paragraph 11.060 (1) (b); or

  2. (b)

    if no day is so stated — on the date of the document or notice.

Note Some kinds of authorisation continue indefinitely unless cancelled. Others cease (unless sooner cancelled) at a time set by another provision of these Regulations. Yet others cease (unless sooner cancelled) at a time set by CASA, subject to a maximum duration.

      the holder changes his, her or its name;

    2. (b)

      the holder changes any address that CASA has required to be stated in the application for the authorisation;

    4. (d)

      in the case of a drug-critical authorisation — subject to Part VIIC of the Crimes Act 1914, the holder is convicted of a psychoactive substance offence.

    1. (a)

      if the holder carries on the business under a name that is registered as a trading or business name under the law of a State or Territory — the holder changes that name, ceases to use that name, or begins to use another name;

    2. (b)

      the holder ceases to be entitled to occupy the premises from which the holder carries on the business;

    3. (c)

      the holder ceases temporarily or permanently to carry on the business;

    4. (d)

      if the holder is an individual, the holder:

      1. (i)

        is declared bankrupt, enters into an arrangement with his or her creditors under Part X of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 or applies to take the benefit of any other law for the protection of debtors; or

      2. (ii)

        becomes aware that he or she has an illness likely to render him or her unable to carry on the business for a period that is likely to exceed 3 months;

    5. (e)

      if the holder is a member of a partnership, an event mentioned in subparagraph (d) (i) or (ii) happens to any of the members;

    6. (f)

      if the holder is a corporation:

      1. (i)

      2. (ii)

        an event mentioned in subparagraph (d) (i) or (ii) happens to any of the holder’s key personnel.

  1. (4)

    It is a condition of an authorisation held by an individual that its holder’s personal representative tells CASA in writing within a reasonable period if the holder dies.

  2. (5)

    It is a condition of an authorisation held by a member of a partnership that, if any of the members dies, another of the members tells CASA in writing within a reasonable period.

  3. (6)

  4. (7)

    It is a condition of an authorisation held by a member of a partnership that, if the partnership is dissolved, a former member tells CASA in writing within 14 days.

Note Regulation number 11.075 is reserved for future use.

11.080When authorisations cease

  1. (1)

    An authorisation held by an individual ceases if the holder dies.

  2. (2)

Subpart 11.ETime-limited authorisations

11.135Applicability of this Subpart

This Subpart applies in relation to time-limited authorisations.

11.140Continuation of authorisation until application decided

  1. (1)

    This regulation applies in relation to a time-limited authorisation (the old authorisation) if:

    1. (a)

      at least:

      1. (i)

        in the case of an authorisation held by a corporation, 90 days; or

      2. (ii)

        in any other case, 21 days;

    before the time when the old authorisation would otherwise cease, its holder applies to CASA for the issue of a new time-limited authorisation that confers the same privileges, or authorises the holder to carry out the same functions or duties, as the old authorisation; and

    1. (b)

      at the time when the old authorisation would otherwise cease, CASA has not made a decision on the application.

  2. (2)

    For subregulation (1), an applicant has applied for the new authorisation only if:

    1. (a)

      the applicant has given to CASA the necessary application, in the form required by CASR; and

    2. (b)

      the application is taken to be complete, in accordance with regulation 11.030; and

    3. (c)

      the applicant has given to CASA any other documents required by CASR to be given to CASA with the application.

Note The applicant does not need to give to CASA information or a document that CASA already has — see regulation 11.145.

  1. (3)

    In spite of any other provision of CASR, but subject to subregulation (4), the old authorisation continues in force until:

    1. (a)

      CASA makes a decision on the application; and

    2. (b)

      if the decision is to grant the new authorisation — the new authorisation comes into force.

  2. (4)

    If CASA asks for further information or a document or invites the applicant to make a submission, under a provision of Subpart 11.B as applied by regulation 11.145, and the applicant does not do so within the period specified by CASA under that provision, then, despite subregulation (3), the old authorisation is taken to cease at the end of that period.

11.145Application of Subpart 11.B

  1. (1)

    Subpart 11.B applies to an application referred to in paragraph 11.140 (1) (a).

  2. (2)

    However, if the applicant has previously given to CASA information or a document relevant to the application, the applicant need not do so again unless the information or document has changed.

  3. (3)

    If CASR allows an application for an authorisation to be made to an authorised representative, a reference in Subpart 11.B or this Subpart to CASA includes, in relation to an application referred to in paragraph 11.140 (1) (a), an authorised representative to whom such an application is made.

11.150Conditions on new authorisation

Unless another provision of CASR says otherwise, if CASA grants the new authorisation, CASA is not obliged:

  1. (a)

    to impose the same conditions, restrictions or limitations on the new authorisation as applied to the old one; or

  2. (b)

    to grant the new authorisation for the same duration as for the old one.

  1. (3)

    To avoid doubt, it is not necessary for subregulation (1) that a state of emergency or natural disaster need have been declared.

11.190Application

An application for an exemption under this Division may be made in any way that is reasonable in the circumstances.

11.195Consideration by CASA

What are the Regulations?

2. The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (‘CASR’), together with the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (‘CAR’), are the detailed legislation of the Commonwealth regarding aviation safety. Both of those sets of regulations are made under the Civil Aviation Act 1988. There are also Civil Aviation Orders made under CAR and that Act.

3. CAR were made in 1988 and have been amended many times since. They are being progressively reviewed as CASA brings its requirements into line with international standards and best regulatory practice. Major new policies are generally incorporated into CASR.

4. The intention is that the matter in CAR and the Civil Aviation Orders will be progressively brought into CASR. As part of that process, CASR is to be written in modern, easy-to-understand language.

5. CASR and CAR, and the Orders, are parts of Australian law. They are delegated legislation, made by the Governor-General (for the Regulations) or CASA itself (for the Orders) under authority given by the Commonwealth Parliament. The authority for the Governor-General to make the Regulations is in section 98 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, and the authority for CASA to make the Orders is in subsection 98 (4A) of that Act and regulation 5 of the 1988 Regulations.

6. The Civil Aviation Act, CASR and CAR give effect to some of Australia’s obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation (usually called the Chicago Convention) entered into at Chicago on 7 December 1944. The English texts of the Chicago Convention, and several Protocols amending it, are set out as Schedules to the Commonwealth Air Navigation Act 1920.

7. The Chicago Convention sets up the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as the regulatory body for international civil aviation. The Council of ICAO adopts Annexes (18 so far) to the Chicago Convention setting out ‘international standards and recommended practices’ (Chicago Convention, Art. 54 (l)). The Annexes provide the basis for aviation safety regulation throughout the world. The Annexes vary in length from a few pages to hundreds of pages, and are not set out in the Air Navigation Act.

8. The Civil Aviation Act, CASR and CAR are not the whole of the Commonwealth legislation regarding aviation. Aspects of aviation other than safety are regulated under (for example):

  1. ·

    the Air Navigation Act 1920

  2. ·

    the Air Navigation Regulations 1947

  3. ·

    the Air Services Act 1995

  4. ·

    the Air Services Regulations

  5. ·

    the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004

  6. ·

    the Civil Aviation (Carriers’ Liability) Act 1959.
