CASR Part 121 - Commercial air transport operations (aeroplanes)
The proposed regulations in Part 121 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) will set the minimum acceptable standards applicable to large aeroplanes that are conducting passenger or cargo transport operations.
that is conducted for hire or reward, or is otherwise publically available
A passenger transport operation involves the carriage of passengers in an aircraft, whether or not cargo is carried on the aircraft. This type of operation does not include:
cost sharing operations
aerial work operations; or
an operation for the carriage of passengers in an aircraft with a certificate of airworthiness other than a standard certificate of airworthiness.
'Large aeroplanes' in Part 121 of CASR means an aeroplane:
fitted with more than 9 passenger seats in its approved configuration; or
with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of more than 8,618 kg.
Who Part 121 affects
Air operators involved in current charter and RPT operations (passenger and cargo) in aeroplanes.
ground and support personnel involved in the operation of aeroplanes engaged in charter or RPT (passenger and cargo) operations
Part 121 of CASR is currently under development through Standards Development Project OS 99/44, the key proposals are:
single standard to be introduced for passenger transport services, regardless of whether Charter or RPT operations are involved
Part 121 flights to be planned and operated under the instrument flight rules (IFR) only
simplified performance regulations in accordance with Annex 8 and Annex 6 of International Aviation (the Chicago Convention)
updated requirements for flight data recorders (FDRs) and cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) and the introduction of a requirement for the fitting of an underwater locating device (ULD) on long overwater flights
re-introduction of the requirement for first aid kits and a new requirement for emergency medical kits and universal precaution kits on specified flights
allowing up to 30 minutes without a requirement for flight crew supplemental oxygen above 10,000 feet (up to flight level [FL]130) for unpressurised aircraft
flight and cabin crew members to be subject to more comprehensive training and checking requirements, including human factors training
cabin crew to passenger seat ratio 1:50
a greater focus on outcome based recency requirements rather than just prescriptive rules for flight crew
alternative training and checking programs to allow operators to structure their own training and checking programs relevant to their fleets and flight crew
restrictions to be placed on the crewing together of inexperienced pilots - green on green
Operators to describe how they will manage multi-fleet flying by flight crew in their exposition
more comprehensive provisions and incorporations of the MOS for:
fuel based on Amendment 36 of Annex 6 to the ICAO Flight Planning and Fuel Management Manual (FPFMM) as the foundation guidance material
alternate aerodrome requirements, and operational flight planning based on ICAO Annex 6 Part I standards
extended diversion time operation (EDTO) provisions in accordance with ICAO Annex 6 Attachment D
low visibility operations, including the use of enhanced vision systems (EVS) and head up display (HUD)
performance based navigation (PBN) new approach classifications
standard passenger and baggage weights (checked baggage to be weighed, baggage placement limits; operators provided with the means to establish standard weights, or different standard weights, to those legislated)
relief for flight crew members, including cruise relief co-pilots
narrow runway operations.
Part 121 operator's will require certification under Part 119 of CASR, with its requirements for:
operational risk management under a safety management system (SMS)
fatigue risk management systems for crew
procedural training and checking of flight crews under the operator's training and checking system - either in-house or provided by an arrangement with a Part 142 certified training and checking provider
safety critical personnel such as flight dispatchers, load controller and loading supervisor.
