Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does This approval temporarily exempts small cargo planes from having to carry a specific type of autopilot system.

Who it affects Australian aircraft weighing under 5.7 tonnes (5,700 kg) conducting cargo-only charter flights (no passengers).

What changes Normally, these planes must have an autopilot meeting strict technical standards in the Civil Aviation Orders. This instrument allowed them to operate without that specific autopilot, provided they met every other safety requirement in section 20.18.

Time limit This was a temporary 12-month approval, running from April 2005 to March 2006.
