Maintenance

6.1.4.1              Maintenance of a Terminal Instrument Flight Procedure includes:

(a)         general text and data amendments;

(b)         redesign to conform with changes to design standards;

(c)          provision of advice regarding obstructions in the vicinity of the aerodrome or procedure;

(d)         redesign or amendment required as a result of changes to critical obstacles;

(e)         changes as directed by CASA;

 but excludes the periodic flight revalidation of procedures.

6.1.4.1A Maintenance of a type of TIFP requires that, if written notification about an aerodrome is received from CASA under paragraph 2.1.9A of the Manual of Standards (MOS) — Part 139 Aerodromes, the following safety procedures must be followed:

(a) withdrawal of the TIFP design for the aerodrome; and

(b) written notification to the aerodrome operator that, in accordance with the maintenance requirements of this paragraph, the TIFP design has been withdrawn because the aerodrome was not a certified aerodrome or a registered aerodrome.
Note This procedure is to complement the obligation on CASA under paragraph 2.1.9A of the Manual of Standards (MOS) — Part 139 Aerodromes that where an aerodrome with a TIFP ceases (for whatever reason) to be certified and does not become registered, or ceases to be registered and does not become certified, CASA will take every reasonable step necessary to give written notification to the certified or authorised designer of the TIFP.

6.1.4.2              At intervals not exceeding five years, CASA shall conduct a flight re-validation of a procedure. On completion of a flight re-validation, CASA will advise the certified designer of any changes required.

6.1.5                   Obstacle Clearance Advice to Aerodrome Operators

6.1.5.1              Prior to the effective publication date of a procedure, the certified designer must forward to the aerodrome operator for which a procedure has been designed, diagrams and obstacle data sufficient to enable the aerodrome operator to fulfil obligations to report and monitor obstacles in the vicinity of an aerodrome as required under CASR Part 139.

Section 6.2:   Design Authorisations

6.2.1                   General

6.2.1.1              This section details the standards that must be applied to the issue of a procedure design authorisation in accordance with CASR Part 173 Subpart C.

6.2.1.2              Authorisations are required for persons engaged in:

(a)         the review and/or amendment of terminal instrument flight procedures at aerodromes outside Australia in order to apply Australian standards to procedures promulgated by foreign States; and

(b)         the design of a helicopter off-shore TIFP in accordance with Section 8.6 (Helicopter off-shore procedures — airborne radar).

6.2.2                   Content

6.2.2.1              A Design Authorisation shall contain the following:
