New Regulated Air Cargo Agents Occurrence report form CA005R [PDF 172 KB] The Civil Aviation Authority encourages reporting of all security-related incidents or concerns, even when these may not reach the formal requirements for reporting under Civil Aviation Rule Part 12. Details of security occurrences help the CAA identify threats or risks to the aviation sector. We invite you to use this form to voluntarily report security incidents or concerns to the Security Regulation Unit which do not require formal reporting. Incidents or concerns include suspicious interactions, observations of security concern, or anything else that makes you feel uncomfortable. |

Release of draft AC61-17, Revision 14, Pilot licences and ratings – Instrument Ratings, Appendix I, for information only CAA has recently finished consultation on Revision 14 of AC61-17, Pilot licences and ratings – Instrument Ratings. While Revision 14 will not come into force until June 2023, the draft Appendix I can be found here [PDF 611 KB] in a clean copy and here in a marked up [PDF 688 KB] copy, to enable flight training providers to amend their training material before the update occurs in June. This Appendix is provided to the sector for information only. Please continue to use the current version of AC61-17, for the syllabus for Instrument rating (IR) examinations. Please note, there may be some minor changes and updates once AC61-17 Revision 14 is published in 2023, but we will endeavour to highlight any further changes at that time. |
