Project OS 14/16 - Development of Manuals of Standards to promulgate technical standards, specifications and functionality information currently contained in CAO 20.18, and reformat CAAP 178-1(2) and CAAP 179A-1(1) as Advisory Circulars | Civil Aviation Safety Authority
Project OS 14/16 - Development of Manuals of Standards to promulgate technical standards, specifications and functionality information currently contained in CAO 20.18, and reformat CAAP 178-1(2) and CAAP 179A-1(1) as Advisory Circulars
Civil Aviation Order (CAO) 20.18 specifies the equipment (other than oxygen equipment, radio apparatus or emergency equipment) required to be fitted to or carried in an Australian registered aircraft. In some instances, the CAO includes information related to items of equipment, technical standards, specifications and functionality.
Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 91 has incorporated many of the equipment requirements of CAO 20.18 but has not incorporated information related to technical standards, specifications and functionality. These are more appropriately documented in Manuals of Standards (MOS). The MOS should be promulgated under CASR Part 21: Certification and airworthiness requirements for aircraft and parts.
If the technical standards and specifications are not promulgated, the aviation industry will not have the necessary guidance to ensure that appropriate equipment is fitted. As a consequence, navigation accuracy and air traffic surveillance functionality could be adversely affected.
Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 179A-1(1): Navigation using GNSS compiles the relevant requirements, standards and practices for GNSS navigation in one document and provides comprehensive guidance on the use of GNSS for navigation. The designation of this document needs to be amended as an Advisory Circular under CASR Part 91.
Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 178-1(2): Non-precision approaches provides guidance on the conduct of NPAs and APVs and compiles the relevant requirements, standards and practices in one document. This document needs to be reviewed and reissued as an Advisory Circular under CASR Part 91.
If these CAAPs are not redesignated, the references could be lost and inconsistent with the regulatory suite.
Develop a Part 21 Manuals of Standards that will promulgate the technical specifications currently documented in CAO 20.18 Sections 9.1D, 9B.2, 9C, 9D.9, 9D.10, 9D.11, 9D.12, Appendix XI.
Liaise with Airworthiness Engineering Branch to ensure consistency and accuracy of technical standards referenced in MOS.
Repeal CAO 20.18 Sections 9.1D, 9B.2, 9C, 9D.9, 9D.10, 9D.11, 9D.12, Appendix XI.
Reformat and amend title of CAAP 179A-1(1) and CAAP 178-1(2) as Advisory Circulars under CASR Part 91.
