Notification under subregulation 5 (3) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR 1988)
For subregulation 5 (3) of CAR 1988, notice of the making of Civil Aviation Order 100.5 Amendment Instrument 2015 (No. 1) (the CAO amendment) is given.
The purpose of the CAO amendment is to amend Civil Aviation Order 100.5 (CAO 100.5) to incorporate the contents of certain airworthiness directives (ADs) as maintenance directions for aircraft to which Part 42 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 does not apply — the ADs will be amended thereafter to restrict their application to these Part 42 aircraft only. The amendments also provide for the maintenance of certain navigation systems previously dealt with by Civil Aviation Order 108.34 which was repealed. Finally, the amendments provide for certain aspects of the maintenance of approved single engine turbine-powered aeroplanes involved in passenger-carrying charter operations at night.
The CAO amendment was made on 21 December 2015 and commenced on 22 December 2015, after registration on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments on 22 December 2015.
Under subregulation 38 (1) of CAR 1988, CASA may give certain maintenance directions. The CAO amendment contains maintenance directions. Under subregulation 38 (2), a direction is not binding on a person unless it has been served on that person.
Under subregulation 5 (3), a direction that is issued in Civil Aviation Orders is taken to have been served on a person to whom the direction relates on the day on which notice of the making of the Order is notified in the Gazette.
