Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument grants a specific, time‑limited exemption for one particular aircraft—a Cessna C550 (Bravo) jet with registration VH‑CCJ and serial number 550‑0953—allowing it to fly without an approved digital flight data recorder (the "black box" that records flight parameters).

Normally, Civil Aviation Order 20.18 requires such recorders. This approval permits the aircraft to operate only if:

It is used for private flights only (not commercial air transport or charter)
It is not used for flying training
It carries a working cockpit voice recorder (which captures audio in the cockpit)

The approval expired on 31 August 2016. The aircraft still had to comply with all other safety requirements under CAO 20.18.
