CIVIL AVIATION ORDERS
REVOCATION AND REPLACEMENT OF SECTION 100.6
ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURE — DESIGN APPROVAL OF MODIFICATIONS, REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS
Under subregulation 35 (1) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR 1988) a person may apply to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) or an authorised person for approval of the design of a modification or repair of an aircraft or aircraft component or a type of aircraft or aircraft component. Under subregulation 35 (2), an applicant must furnish to CASA such evidence relating to the design as CASA or the authorised person requires and satisfy CASA or the authorised person that the design conforms with any relevant design standard.
Section 100.6 of the Civil Aviation Orders set out the procedure to be followed by an applicant under subregulation 35 (1) of CAR 1988. It set out the drawings, specifications and other documents that have to accompany the application.
This Order revokes and remakes section 100.6. This has been done as part of a scheme to review the Civil Aviation Orders, and, in particular, to ensure that they are in a position to meet the technical requirements of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 when it comes into effect on 1 January 2005. The remake does not involve any changes in existing law or policy in the Order. The Order is being remade solely for the purpose of ensuring compliance and consistency with the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 when it commences on 1 January 2005. However, the opportunity has been taken to update outdated references to legislation in the Order and to introduce gender-neutral wording into the Order.
The Office of Regulation Review has stated that a Regulation Impact Statement is not necessary because the remake is of a minor or machinery nature.
The Order has been issued by the Director of Aviation Safety in accordance with subsection 84A (2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988.
The Order came into effect on gazettal.
