“CASA will not issue any extensions beyond the deadline,” the safety regulator said. “So it is very important for [organisations] to start work on transition now.”
CASA said it was developing additional resources to help organisations make the transition smoothly but already provided a “high level of guidance.”
CASA says the new Part 42 requirement for air carriers and Part 145 regulations for maintenance organisations will improve standards while allowing for more flexibility and reduced costs.
