There are regulations and aircraft equipment orders in place to support:
- communications, navigation, surveillance (CNS) and
- air traffic management (ATM).
Pilots and operators of aircraft in Australia must comply with
- Part 91 of Civil Aviation Safety Amendment (CASR) General operating and flight rules 2018
- subpart 91.U of Part 91 Manual of Standards (MOS)
- Part 61 of CASR Flight Crew Licensing
Flights without required transponder or ADS-B transmitting equipment
Part 91 MOS provides you with arrangements for flights where transponder or ADS-B transmitting equipment is temporarily out of service.
Depending on the situation, you may require our written authorisation.
Advisory Circular AC 11-02(2) Exemptions against the CASR, CAR and CAO (PDF 220KB) describes the steps you need to follow to gain the exemption against Part 91 of CASR.
You must apply for an exemption in accordance with regulation 11.165 of CASR. We will only consider exemptions where an operator can demonstrate that they will provide an acceptable level of safety.
Contact us to submit a formal application, with required documents, for a Part 11.165 exemption.
