Project SS 05/01 - Reform of continuing airworthiness legislation under the regulatory reform program
As part of Regulatory Reform Program (RRP), the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR) are gradually being replaced by the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR).
In June 2011, under the RPP a new set of continuing airworthiness legislation comprised of Parts 42, 66, 145 and 147 of CASR and the associated Manuals of Standards (MOS) were made.
Part 42 includes overarching continuing airworthiness requirements, for aircraft and aeronautical products, that generally apply to registered operators of aircraft and maintainers of aircraft and aeronautical products. Part 145 includes requirements for maintenance organisations that are approved to carry out maintenance on aircraft or aeronautical products. Part 66 includes requirements for licensing of maintenance personnel and the privileges of such licenced personnel. Part 147 includes requirements for maintenance training organisations that provide training for licensing of maintenance personnel.
Parts 42 and 145 were progressively implemented over the period of two years from June 2011 - June 2013 for aircraft that are authorised for regular public transport (RPT) operations.
All maintenance personnel licences issued under the CAR were transitioned into the new licence scheme under Part 66 on 27 June 2011.
All maintenance training organisations were transitioned into Part 147 by June 2013. However, reform of continuing airworthiness legislation is incomplete. All aircraft other than those involved in RPT operations are still subject to continuing airworthiness requirements of Parts 4, 4A and 4B of the CAR.
Final phase of the continuing airworthiness reform
In the final phase of the continuing airworthiness reform, CASA aims to establish under the CASR a comprehensive set of continuing airworthiness requirements for all aircraft. This work is being carried out under two separate activities under the Project SS 05/01.
The first activity covers current private, aerial work operations involving all ‘VH’ registered aircraft other than manned free balloons and unmanned aircraft. The proposed Part 43 of CASR is being developed to establish continuing airworthiness requirements for these aircraft, based on the corresponding regulations of the USA. Continuing airworthiness requirements for manned free balloons and if required for unmanned aircraft would be developed within the respective regulatory Part dealing with operations of these aircraft.
CASA has also announced guiding principles and a consultation framework for the second activity which would establish continuing airworthiness requirements for aircraft currently engaged in charter operations. Such operations would transition into new air transport operations classifications under Parts 121, 133 or 135 of CASR when the new operations regulations commence in March 2021. Some changes are also anticipated to Parts 42 and 145 for the transition of current RPT operations into Parts 121 and 135.
It should be noted that CASA has initiated Project MS 16/05 for the post-implementation review of Part 66 and Project MS 17/03 for the post-implementation review of Part 145 which are currently under progress. All immediate changes to Parts 66 and 145 will be managed under these projects.
This project is associated with Parts 42, 43, 66, 145 and 147 of CASR.
