Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A personal exemption granted by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to a specific pilot, Roff Alexander Howard.

What it does: Normally, pilots face strict flight time limits to prevent fatigue (set out in section 48.1 of the Civil Aviation Orders). This instrument allows Mr. Howard to fly additional hours beyond those standard limits.

Specific permissions granted:

50 extra hours in any 12-month period
5 extra hours in any 30-day period
3 extra hours in any 7-day period

Important limits:

Only applies to small aircraft (under 5,700kg maximum take-off weight)
Only for private operations (not commercial or paid flying)
Only valid for the specific pilot named (ARN 005 819)

Why it matters: This demonstrates how aviation regulators can grant tailored exemptions to general safety rules for individual pilots while maintaining caps to manage fatigue risk.
