121.355  Procedures relating to carriage of animals
  An aeroplane operator's exposition must include procedures for the carriage of animals for a flight of the aeroplane.

121.360  Polar operations
 (1) This regulation applies in relation to a flight of an aeroplane if, during the flight, the aeroplane enters the polar region.
 (2) The operator of an aeroplane for a flight contravenes this subregulation if:
 (a) the aeroplane is flown in the polar region during the flight; and
 (b) the operator does not hold an approval under regulation 121.010 to fly in the polar region.
 (3) The aeroplane operator's exposition must include procedures for the following:
 (a) monitoring and dealing with fuel freezing;
 (b) ensuring communication capability for the duration of an operation that includes a flight in the polar region;
 (c) training the aeroplane's flight crew in polar operations;
 (d) mitigating crew member and passenger exposure to cosmic radiation during solar flare activity;
 (e) if the aeroplane conducts a flight for which an alternate aerodrome in the polar region is required at a time of year when extreme climatic conditions are expected at the aerodrome—the carrying of at least 2 serviceable, cold weather, anti‑exposure suits.
 (4) A person commits an offence of strict liability if the person contravenes subregulation (2).
Penalty: 50 penalty units.

121.365  Cosmic radiation
 (1) The operator of an aeroplane for a flight contravenes this subregulation if:
 (a) the operator's exposition does not set a limit for the total cosmic radiation receivable inside the aeroplane's cabin during the flight; and
 (b) the aeroplane is flown above flight level 490.
 (2) The operator of an aeroplane contravenes this subregulation if:
 (a) a flight crew member or cabin crew member of the operator's personnel has, in the previous 12 month period, flown on a flight of an aeroplane operated by the operator during which the aeroplane was flown above flight level 490; and
 (b) the operator does not have a record of the total cosmic radiation dose received by the member during that period on such flights.
 (3) A person commits an offence of strict liability if the person contravenes subregulation (1) or (2).
Penalty: 50 penalty units.

121.370  Exceeding cosmic radiation limits
 (1) The operator and the pilot in command of an aeroplane for a flight each contravene this subregulation if:
 (a) the aeroplane is flown above flight level 490; and
 (b) the aeroplane operator's exposition sets a limit for the total cosmic radiation receivable inside the aeroplane's cabin during the flight; and
 (c) the limit is exceeded during the flight; and
 (d) the pilot in command does not, as soon as practicable after the limit is exceeded, descend to the lowest altitude at which it is practicable to
