CHAPTER 2  APPLICATION OF STANDARDS

2.01 Definitions

        In this Chapter:

CASR means the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998.

certified aerodrome means an aerodrome that was a certified aerodrome under Part 139 of CASR immediately before the commencement of this MOS.

existing aerodrome means an aerodrome that was in service as a certified aerodrome or a registered aerodrome under the document called 'Manual of Standards (MOS) – Part 139 Aerodromes' as in force immediately before the commencement of this MOS.

existing aerodrome facility means a facility that would have fallen within the definition of an aerodrome facility immediately before the commencement of this MOS had the definition of aerodrome facility then been in force.

Note   Aerodrome facility is defined in subsection 3.01 (2).

grandfathered facility means an existing aerodrome facility (the facility) and the obstacle limitation surfaces associated with an existing runway that is part of the existing aerodrome facility (the OLS) that, on and after the commencement of this MOS, do not comply with the standards in this MOS, provided that:

(a) the facility and the OLS complies, and continues to comply, with the standards which applied to the facility and the OLS immediately before the commencement of this MOS; and

Note   CASA guidance documents identify the range of previous standards that may have applied.

(b) the aerodrome operator's aerodrome manual:

 (i) identifies the facility and the OLS; and

 (ii) sets out in detail how the facility and the OLS do not comply with this MOS.

opted-in means that:

(a) an aerodrome operator voluntarily tells CASA in writing that from a specified date after the commencement of this MOS, a specified grandfathered facility will comply with the requirements of this MOS for the facility; and

(b) the aerodrome operator's aerodrome manual specifies the date and the facility; and

(c) CASA acknowledges, in writing, that the operator has opted-in.

registered aerodrome means an aerodrome that was a registered aerodrome under Part 139 of CASR immediately before the commencement of this MOS.

replacement, for an existing aerodrome facility, means completion of any activity in relation to the facility which, not being merely maintenance, results in the substitution of a new aerodrome facility for the existing aerodrome facility.

upgrade, for an existing aerodrome facility, means any change to the facility which, for the first time after the commencement of this MOS, enables any of the following changes to aircraft operations using the facility, namely, a change:

(a) from day VFR operations, to night VFR operations;

(b) from non-instrument approaches, to non-precision instrument approaches;

(c) from non-precision instrument approaches, to precision instrument approaches;

(d) from precision CAT I approaches, to precision CAT II
