31 October 2018 Flight & Duty time requirements
The old version of CAO 48.0/48.1 dated 2004 will be repealed. From the 1st November 2018 all Flight & Duty time questions will be based on the new CAO 48.1 Instrument 2013. EDIT: This has now changed to March 2020.
8 November 2018 Fuel requirements
The current Fuel Policy based on CAAP 234-1(1), will be replaced with the new Fuel Requirements contained in CASA 29/18 Civil Aviation (Fuel Requirements) Instrument 2018M and described in the updated CAAP 234-1(2). The new fuel requirements will affect RPL, PPL, CPL exams as well as IREX and PIFR. The list of permitted materials for the affected exams will be amended to replace CAAP 234-1(1) with the new CAAP 234-1(2).
A table highlighting the differences between the two fuel requirements is attached.
The aircraft data sheet for IREX, Form 1357 – IREX Exam Aircraft Data Sheet VH-OZY will be updated. A copy of the amended form is attached and is available on the CASA web site from page www.casa.gov.au/standard-page/ratings.
