Project OS 99/45 - CASR Part 133 - Australian air transport operations - rotorcraft
The operating rules for rotorcraft charter and RPT operations are modified versions of the rules applicable to aeroplanes that do not appropriately meet the future requirements of the rotorcraft industry. The rules are currently contained in various Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR), Civil Aviation Orders (CAO) and associated legislative instruments and have not yet been moved to the CASR structure or updated in many years. The current rules do not adequately encompass future powered-lift (or tiltrotor) rotorcraft.
The term rotorcraft means an aircraft in any of the following categories of aircraft:
This project will implement a new CASR Part 133 and Part 133 Manual of Standards (MOS) that replaces the various Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR) and Civil Aviation Orders (CAO) that relate to rotorcraft air transport rules.
These new rules will effectively replace the operating rules for current helicopter aerial work (air ambulance), charter and RPT operations. The new rules will be supported by a number of Advisory Circulars (AC). The new rules will apply in addition to, or in substitution for, the general operating and flight rules prescribed in Part 91, when using rotorcraft for air transport operations.
This project incorporates the following key proposals:
A specific structure for regulations relating to air transport operations using rotorcraft, with CASR Part 133 solely addressing these operations.
A single standard to be introduced for air transport operations, whether unscheduled or scheduled.
The applicability and standards of CASR Part 133 are aligned to closely to Australia's obligations as a member State of ICAO and to CASA's hierarchy of priorities within the Classification of Civil Aviation Activities Policy for rotorcraft. These support a systems approach to safety by requiring rules to make clear who is responsible for complying with each rule and by ensuring Operators are responsible for providing guidance, training and monitoring for their personnel on how to comply with the regulations and the operator's policies when conducting operations under their Air Operator's Certificate.
In recognition of aircraft accident history and potential risk mitigators, improving the standards for air transport operations conducted under the Visual Flight Rules at night.
Linking the requirements for operations conducted under the Visual Flight Rules at night more directly to the safety risks of such operations and the requirements for IFR operations.
Establishing safety-based outcomes for overwater flights and the equipment requirements for such operations and providing a greater focus for operators to Establish procedures, training and recency requirements that are most appropriate to the circumstances and complexity of their operations.
Establishing rotorcraft performance standards based on ICAO requirements that incorporate consideration of exposure to the potential for a forced landing, and that allow for risk management of this exposure through appropriate consideration of the likelihood and consequences of a forced landing event.
Part 133 operator's will require certification under CASR Part 119 (see project OS 99/43).
This project is associated with CASR Part 133.

CASR Dictionary amendments The changes to the CASR dictionary essential to understanding and interpreting the terminology used in Parts 91, 119, 121, 133, 135 and 138, are now available on the Federal Register of Legislation. Like the 6 CASR parts, these specific dictionary changes become effective on 25 March 2021. Industry is advised that further CAR and CASR dictionary changes will occur as part of the legislative package that repeals existing 1988 series Civil Aviation Regulations. This package is currently under development and is planned to be available later in 2019. The new legislative instrument is available at Civil Aviation Safety Amendment (Operations Definitions) Regulations 2019 17 April 2019
