CASA is not changing the actual safety requirements — the rules stay exactly the same. Instead, this is about how the rules are legally structured. By revoking and remaking the directives as separate instruments, CASA ensures each safety rule stands on its own legal footing rather than being bundled together. This makes the rules clearer to enforce and easier to update individually in future."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument does not change the substantive scope or requirements of the listed Airworthiness Directives.
