NOTICE OF MAKING OF CIVIL AVIATION ORDER 48.1 AMENDMENT INSTRUMENT 2016 (No. 2)

Notification under subregulation 5 (3) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988

For subregulation 5 (3) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (CAR 1988), notice of the making of Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Amendment Instrument 2016 (No. 2) (the CAO amendment) is given.

Purpose

The purpose of the Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Amendment Instrument 2016 (No. 2) (the CAO amendment) is to amend the Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Amendment Instrument 2016 (No. 1) (the previous CAO amendment) to correct a technical error.

Background

The previous CAO amendment was registered on 4 July 2016. A technical error has been identified in it. Certain amendments in new Appendix 4B (for medical transport operations and emergency service operations) and to existing Appendix 5 (for aerial work operations and flight training associated with aerial work) placed a requirement on an AOC holder to consider situations when a flight crew member is called out from standby to commence non-flying duties before a flight duty period. The requirement should have been expressed to apply to any situation when a flight crew member was required to commence non-flying duties before a flight duty period. The CAO amendment corrects this error effective from the day of registration.

Reasons

The Principle Instrument, Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Instrument 2013, contains directions. Under subregulation 5 (3) of CAR 1988, a direction that is issued in a Civil Aviation Order 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. This Notice constitutes such notification of the making of Civil Aviation Order 48.1 Amendment Instrument 2016 (No. 2).
