Proposed amendments to the rules for larger aeroplanes air transport operations - Part 119 and 121 of CASR - (CD 1806OS) - Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Citizen Space
The proposed new rules for larger aeroplane air transport operations aim to consolidate the rules into a single document suite and make them more operationally focused and easier to use.
The larger aeroplane rules are applicable to multi-engine aeroplanes with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) more than 8,618kg or a maximum operational passenger seating configuration (MOPSC) of more than nine seats. They are also applicable to single-engine aeroplanes with a MOPSC of more than nine seats and MTOW of 8,618kg or less.
The new rules largely retain existing regulatory requirements but introduce some new requirements—notably to reduce the safety differential between charter and regular public transport operations but also to bring Australia up to date with the international standards of other leading national aviation authorities and Annex 6 of the Chicago Conventions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
introduce a graduated level of safety for air transport operations that does not differentiate between scheduled and non-scheduled operations
graduate requirements proportionate to the risk, with more stringent controls over activities with higher passenger capacity or higher mass
enhance existing safety levels by harmonising with modern requirements for the fitment of flight data recorders, cockpit voice recorders and underwater locating devices on long overwater flights
provide operational flexibility by harmonising with modern rules for fuel and alternate aerodrome selection, including the introduction of an isolated aerodrome concept
provide operational flexibility by updating existing CAO 82.0 ETOPS concepts to EDTO provisions based on ICAO Annex 6 Attachment D
provide operational flexibility by harmonising cabin crew ratios with common practice
provide operational flexibility for operators to describe how they will manage multi-fleet flying in their exposition
enhance safety by restricting the crewing together of inexperienced personnel
enhance safety by re-introducing the requirement for the carriage of first aid kits and introducing a new requirement for emergency medical kits and universal precaution kits on specified flights
provide for recurrent training and checking requirements to be met by alternative means acceptable to CASA, to allow for future training and checking programs (e.g. evidence-based training).
There are two Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) Parts relevant to larger aeroplane air transport operators:
Part 121 – the operating rules for larger aeroplanes conducting air transport operations.
The Part 121 Manual of Standards (MOS), which contains instructions on how operations must be carried out or what requirements must be met, is provided as part of this consultation to enable industry evaluation of the draft regulations. CASA is not requesting comment on the Part 121 MOS as part of this consultation. The Part 121 MOS will be the subject of an Aviation Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) Technical Working Group (TWG) later in 2018 and a separate formal public consultation in early 2019.
Unless otherwise stated in Part 121, operators will also be required to comply with CASR Part 91, the general operating and flight rules, which was consulted in March-April 2018.
Parts 119 and 121 form part of the suite of six interlinked and interdependent certification and flight operating regulations (the other elements of this suite are Parts 91, 133, 135 and 138). Consultation for Part 133 – rotorcraft air transport operations, is open and closes on 21 August 2018. Consultation for Part 135 – smaller aeroplane air transport operations, is open and closes on 2 September 2018. These consultations will also include further consultation on Part 119.
We are consulting with the aviation community on the larger aeroplane air transport rules to ensure they will work in practice as they are intended.
You will be asked to comment on Part 119 and Part 121 separately. We have included a number of documents to help you navigate through the regulations which are attached in the ‘Related’ section at the bottom of this page. In particular, the Summary of Proposed Changes (SPC) outlines how the proposed regulations will work together and specific changes.
In June 2018, ASAP convened a technical working group (TWG) to evaluate drafts of the Part 119 and 121 rules.
The group made several suggestions and highlighted potential issues. The specific issues raised and the preliminary CASA response to these issues can be found at: https://www.casa.gov.au/about-us/standard-page/part-121-twg-australian-air-transport-operations-large-aeroplane-operations CASA has refined the draft regulations based on this feedback. In addition, Parts 121 and 119 have been extensively consulted throughout their development.
Draft regulations for Part 121 were first published in 2002. The most recent comprehensive consultation was conducted during 2015, including nine working groups with representatives from industry's flight operations and cabin crew departments, relevant unions (Flight Attendants Association of Australia and Australian Federation of Air Pilots/Australian & International Pilots Association) and other representative groups such as the Australian Business Aircraft Association and the Regional Aviation Association of Australia.
Parts 119 and 121 form part of the suite of six interlinked and interdependent certification and flight operating regulations (the other elements of this suite are Parts 91, 133, 135 and 138). Consultation for Part 133 – rotorcraft air transport operations, is open and closes on 21 August 2018. Consultation for Part 135 – smaller aeroplane air transport operations, is open and closes on 2 Septemper 2018. These consultations will also include further consultation on Part 119.
