CIVIL AVIATION ORDERS

 

REVOCATION AND REPLACEMENT OF SECTION 43.0

 

FLIGHT ENGINEER

 

Subregulation 5.52 (2) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR 1988) provides that the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) may issue directions relating to the information that must be entered in a log book by the holder of a flight crew licence, a special pilot licence or a certificate of validation.

 

Subregulation 208 (1) of CAR 1988 provides that the minimum operating crew of an Australian aircraft is supplemented by such additional operating crew members, having such qualifications, as CASA considers necessary and directs, having regard to the safety of air navigation.

 

Section 43.0 of the Civil Aviation Orders set out directions relating to the carriage of flight engineers on Australian aircraft.  These directions also required the provision of a training and checking organisation.  The section also contained directions in relation to the logging of flight time by the holder of a flight engineer licence.

 

This Order revokes and remakes section 43.0.  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  However, the opportunity has been taken to update outdated references to legislation in the Order and to introduce gender-neutral wording into the Order.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 of government 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.
