Overview

The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 were enacted to provide a legal framework for ensuring the safety of civil aviation in Australia. This legislative instrument aims to address the need for detailed, enforceable safety standards and procedures in the aviation industry, ensuring the protection of passengers, crew, and the public. The regulations are administered by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which is responsible for enforcing these safety standards. The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 were enacted by the Parliament of Australia under the Civil Aviation Act 1988, and the policy objective is to maintain the highest possible safety standards in civil aviation. This instrument revokes and remakes specific Airworthiness Directives for Fokker F27 Series Aeroplanes to ensure that all current safety requirements are met and that any outdated or superseded directives are removed from the regulatory framework.

Scope and Application

The legislative instrument F2006B07870, issued under the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998, pertains to the revocation and remaking of specific Airworthiness Directives for Fokker F27 Series aeroplanes. This instrument is enacted by David Alan Villiers, acting as the delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. The directives in question, listed in Schedule 1, address various aspects of aircraft maintenance, safety modifications, and operational procedures to ensure airworthiness. These directives apply to all Fokker F27 Series aeroplanes operating within Australia and are designed to maintain the safety and integrity of these aircraft. The instrument effectively cancels certain directives and re-issues them to ensure they are current and applicable, reflecting the latest safety standards and industry practices. The jurisdictional reach of this instrument is national, impacting all Fokker F27 aeroplanes within the Australian airspace. The re-making of the directives as separate instruments allows for more precise and targeted updates, ensuring compliance with the highest safety standards.

Key Provisions

The legislative instrument, F2006B07870, executed by David Alan Villiers, delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), revokes several Airworthiness Directives (AD) related to Fokker F27 Series aeroplanes and re-makes specific ADs as separate instruments (sections 1(a) and 1(b)). The ADs mentioned in Schedule 1 are revoked, while others are re-made in the same form as their latest published editions. The instrument aims to ensure that Fokker F27 Series aeroplanes maintain their airworthiness by addressing various technical requirements and safety concerns. The Act imposes several obligations and requirements on the parties and entities governed by the ADs. Owners, operators, and maintenance personnel of Fokker F27 Series aeroplanes must comply with the ADs, which include specific inspection, maintenance, and modification tasks. These tasks may involve the inspection of structural components, modifications to systems such as the autopilot, pitot static system, and electrical power, as well as corrosion prevention measures. Failure to comply with these ADs could result in the aeroplane being deemed unairworthy, which could lead to grounding and potential legal consequences. Breaching the obligations and requirements set out in the ADs can result in civil and criminal penalties. Civil penalties may include fines, orders for compliance, or other corrective measures imposed by CASA. In more severe cases, individuals or entities found in breach of the ADs may face criminal charges, leading to imprisonment or fines, depending on the severity and circumstances of the breach. The maximum penalties for criminal offences under the Civil Aviation Act 1988 (Cth) can include fines of up to $210,000 for individuals and $1,050,000 for bodies corporate, as well as imprisonment for up to five years for serious offences. It is essential for all parties governed by the ADs to adhere to the specified requirements to avoid any legal repercussions.
