Advisory Circulars

 

 

We’ve updated advice on defect reporting. AC 20-06 v1.0 replaces CAAP 51-1(2), as the CAAP only referred to aircraft maintained under Part 4B of Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR). This AC covers aircraft maintained under both the CAR and Subdivision 42.D.6.2 of Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR). It also details defects which do not need to be reported to CASA.
