In accordance with section 34 (1) (a) of the Civil Aviation Act 1990, the Minister of Transport hereby gives notice of intention to make the following ordinary Civil Aviation Rule:
Part 61—Pilot Licences and Ratings – Stage 3/Part 141. NPRM No. 07-05, CAA Docket 4/CAR/5
The purpose of this NPRM is to put forward for consultation amendments to Civil Aviation Rule Part 61, Pilot Licences and Ratings, along with associated changes to Parts 1, 12, 63, 65, 66, 92, 121, 125, 135 and 141.
This NPRM is the third stage of a three stage implementation project of changes to Part 61 personnel licensing requirements that address issues of pilot training.
The rule amendments in this NPRM propose that all flight training and assessment that is required by Part 61 for
the issue of a pilot licence or rating be undertaken by a person operating under the authority of an aviation training organisation certificate issued in accordance with Part 141 or under the authority of a Part 119 or 137 certificate. Amendments are proposed to Part 141 to amend the current aviation training organisation requirements and establish four types of training organisation certificate consisting of:
? Aviation Training Organisation certificate for all Part
61 pilot licence and rating training including Biennial Flight Reviews. This certificate also covers flight tests and assessments required under Part 61.
? Flight Training Organisation certificate for conducting private pilot licence, type rating and aerobatic rating training. This certificate also covers the Biennial Flight Reviews.
? Special Training Organisation certificate for specialist training including dangerous goods training and security training.
? Restricted Training Organisation certificate for a single, specific period training course.
Part 61 is amended to require that a person holding a flight instructor rating issued in accordance with Part 61 can only exercise the privileges of a flight instructor rating under
the authority of a holder of a Part 141 training certificate, Part 119 Air operator certificate, or Part 137 agricultural certificate. Additionally, any ground based training or assessment required under Part 61 must be conducted by
an organisation holding a training organisation certificate issued in accordance with Part 141, 119 or 137.
Consequential Amendments:
Part 1—Definitions and Abbreviations
Part 12—Accidents, Incidents, and Statistics
Part 63—Flight Engineer Licences and Ratings
