Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

A CASA delegate authorised the nasal‑cannula “Oxymizer” for a specific aircraft (VH‑WSY) under subregulation 207(2), subject to altitude‑graded flow‑rate and cross‑reference requirements to Civil Aviation Orders. The operator must supply, maintain and demonstrate the Oxymizers meet those specs (and ensure any other nose‑and‑mouth units comply with the cited Orders). It matters because it permits an alternative oxygen technology for that aircraft while imposing testing, documentation and compliance costs on the operator.
