CASA 68/24—Terminal Instrument Flight Procedures (Military Aerodromes) Instrument 2024

This instrument prescribes which certified procedure designers may create, validate and maintain terminal instrument flight procedures (TIFPs) for non‑state IFR operations at a defined list of military aerodromes. It sets design and maintenance standards, requires operations manuals, CASA pilot validation, obstacle‑monitoring and flight‑inspection arrangements, and adds site‑ and provider‑specific deviations and labelling obligations.

It primarily affects the named designers (Airservices Australia, Global Airspace Solutions, GE Flight Efficiency Services), aerodrome operators and aircraft operators using those procedures; designers and operators bear compliance, inspection and reporting costs, while CASA keeps approval and validation authority (see ss 3–6, 9–14, 17–21).

This instrument (CASA 68/24) makes directions under regulation 11.245 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR) about who may design, verify, validate and maintain terminal instrument flight procedures (TIFP) for use by non‑state aircraft operating IFR at a specified set of military aerodromes, and how that work must be done (see s 4(1)(a), s 5, s 6). The directions are time‑limited, ceasing at the end of 30 November 2027 (see s 23; s 26 repeals the instrument on that date). The instrument names three certified designers as the only persons permitted to carry out the relevant TIFP design work for the listed military aerodromes: Airservices Australia (AA), Global Airspace Solutions Pty Ltd (GAS) and GE Flight Efficiency Services LLC (GE) (definition relevant designer, s 3). It bars other persons from carrying out or reviewing such design work (s 7(1)-(2)).

Mechanically the instrument does the following, among other things:

Restricts permitted design work to designers whose procedure design certificates cover the type of TIFP, and to employees of those designers acting in the course of their duties (s 6(2)(a)-(c); s 6(3) defines permitted design work).
Requires designers to meet standards in ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS‑OPS) and the Part 173 Manual of Standards subject to specified modifications and to Schedule 1 exemptions (s 11, s 15).
Imposes operations manual, verification and validation requirements, including a requirement that each TIFP be validated by a CASA pilot in accordance with the Manual of Standards (s 9; s 16; s 17).
Restricts use of ground‑based navaids in designs to those operated and maintained by certificated Part 171 service providers, except for specific listed navaids and subject to flight‑inspection arrangements set out in Schedule 2 (s 19; Schedule 2).
Allocates responsibility for maintenance of TIFP to the relevant designer unless and until that maintenance responsibility is validly transferred with CASA approval (s 20-21).
Prescribes certain TIFP published or given to CASA as authorised instrument approach or departure procedures under the CASR Dictionary (ss 24-25).

The instrument also contains granular, designer‑specific derogations from Manual of Standards requirements collected in Schedule 1: Nowra and Williamtown design exceptions for AA, remote supervision and design‑criteria rules for GE at Darwin and Townsville, and a package of overlapping‑procedure, airspace buffer and marking requirements for GAS at several aerodromes (Schedule 1 Parts 1-4). Schedule 2 specifies which ground navaids at which military aerodromes may be used and the flight‑inspection intervals where the exception in s 19(2) applies.

Overall, the instrument reassigns particular regulatory controls over TIFP design and maintenance at named military aerodromes to three identified certified designers, prescribes the standards, exceptions and operational arrangements those designers must follow, and sets out how CASA is to be notified and involved in verification, validation and transfers of responsibility. The instrument does not itself specify criminal penalties or administrative fines; it is a set of directions made under CASR (see s 4(1)(a)) and is time limited (s 23, s 26).

The instrument organises around a small set of recurring regulatory concepts. These include listed military aerodrome, relevant designer, permitted design work, TIFP standards and Manual of Standards conformity, validation, verification, maintenance responsibility and radio‑navigation aid constraints. Each concept is defined and then used to allocate who does what, when and how.

Listed military aerodrome. The instrument applies only to the aerodromes listed in s 5: Amberley (YAMB), Curtin (YCIN), Darwin (YPDN), East Sale (YMES), Edinburgh (YPED), Learmonth (YPLM), Nowra (YSNW), Oakey (YBOK), Pearce (YPEA), Point Cook (YMPC), Richmond (YSRI), Scherger (YBSG), Tindal (YPTN), Townsville (YBTL), Williamtown (YWLM) and Woomera (YPWR). The set is exhaustive for the instrument, and references to “listed military aerodrome” in Div 2 and the Schedules carry that meaning (s 5).

Relevant designer and permitted design work. The instrument defines relevant designer to mean exactly three certified designers (Airservices Australia ARN 202210; Global Airspace Solutions Pty Ltd ARN 826936; GE Flight Efficiency Services LLC ARN 1236199) (s 3). A designer only may carry out permitted design work if the procedure type is covered by its procedure design certificate, and the design work is done by the designer or an employee in the course of duties (s 6(2)(a)-(c)). Subsection 6(3) defines permitted design work as design work within the certificate scope and subject to any certificate conditions. Sections 7(1)-(2) then make it an offence under this instrument for other persons to carry out or amend/review design work for those TIFP (subject to the instrument’s reach and the broader statutory enforcement regime).

Standards regime and Schedule 1 derogations. Designers are required to design in accordance with ICAO Doc. 8168 (PANS‑OPS) and the Part 173 Manual of Standards, subject to section 15 and Schedule 1 exceptions (s 11(1)). Where both ICAO and the Manual of Standards conflict and cannot both be complied with, the Manual of Standards prevails for the designer (s 11(2)). Section 15 and Schedule 1 specify circumstances in which particular standards or Part 173 regulations do not apply to a relevant designer, and Schedule 1 contains detailed, designer‑ and aerodrome‑specific exemptions and procedural labelling requirements.

Operations manual, verification and validation. Relevant designers must maintain operations manuals compliant with Part 173 Manual of Standards for the permitted design work (s 9(1)), comply with their operations manual (s 10), and establish procedures for verification in accordance with subregulations 173.090(2)-(4) (s 16). Each TIFP must be validated by a CASA pilot under subregulation 173.095(2) and in accordance with any applicable Manual of Standards standards as applied or modified in Div 2 (s 17).

Directly and primarily, the instrument affects three groups identified in the text: the named relevant designers, aerodrome operators of the listed military aerodromes, and CASA as regulator. Secondarily it affects operators and pilots who will fly the TIFP and service providers who operate or flight‑inspect ground‑based radio navigation aids.

Relevant designers. The instrument explicitly confines permitted design work on TIFP for the listed military aerodromes to the three named certified designers (definition relevant designer, s 3; ss 6-7). Those designers must ensure their TIFP are within the scope and conditions of their procedure design certificates (s 6(2)(a)-(b)), maintain operations manuals consistent with Part 173 Manual of Standards (s 9(1)), comply with verification and validation requirements (ss 16-17), and maintain the procedures unless and until maintenance is transferred (s 20). For GE and GAS there are additional designer‑specific obligations in Schedule 1: GE has derogations relating to supervision and qualifications and must include remote supervision procedures in its operations manual (Schedule 1 Part 3 cl 7-8), and must give CASA notice of substantive amendments to its GE Flight Efficiency Services design criteria (cl 11(1)). GAS has explicit labelling requirements and exceptions for overlapping procedures and airspace buffers at certain aerodromes (Schedule 1 Part 4 cl 14-17), and must include this instrument and related directions in its operations manual (cl 18).

Other certified designers and third parties. A person who is not one of the three named relevant designers, or an employee of a relevant designer acting in the course of their duties, must not carry out design work for TIFP at the listed aerodromes (s 7(1)-(2)). That prohibition imposes an effective market exclusion for other procedure design certificate‑holders as to these listed aerodromes, for the duration of the instrument. Transfers of maintenance responsibility to another certified designer are possible, but require CASA written approval (s 21(1)-(3)); CASA must be satisfied that the transferee can comply with the directions in Div 2 (s 21(3)).

Aerodrome operators. The instrument imposes obligations that affect aerodrome operators, especially at joint user aerodromes. Designers must provide diagrams and obstacle data sufficient to enable an aerodrome operator to fulfil obligations to report and monitor obstacles in the vicinity of an aerodrome, as required under Part 139 of CASR, with modifications where the aerodrome is a Defence Force operator or a joint user aerodrome (s 12(1)-(2), note; s 12(5)-(6) provides for copying data to both operators where Defence is one operator). Where the aerodrome is not a joint user aerodrome that is already certified under Part 139, the designer must enter arrangements with the aerodrome operator for monitoring OLS and PANS‑OPS surfaces and to notify designers of any changes in obstacles (s 13(2)-(4)). The instrument requires those arrangements be agreed in writing and obliges designers to notify CASA of arrangements within 60 days (s 12(3)-(4)) or to notify CASA if arrangements cannot be entered (s 14).

This instrument creates a set of affirmative duties for the relevant designers and obligations interlinking designers, aerodrome operators and CASA. It also creates constrained rights, such as the limited right of a certified designer to accept transferred maintenance responsibility subject to CASA approval.

Who may design, and under what scope. Only a relevant designer or an employee of a relevant designer may carry out design work on a TIFP for a listed military aerodrome, and the work must be permitted design work, that is, within the type covered by the designer’s procedure design certificate and any conditions therein (s 6(1)-(3); s 7(1)-(2)). This is both a duty for the named designers to ensure compliance and a prohibition against others doing the work.

Operations manual duties. A relevant designer carrying out permitted design work must maintain an operations manual that meets the standards in the Part 173 Manual of Standards (s 9(1)), and must comply with that manual when carrying out design work (s 10). The instrument also disapplies one specific sub‑standard (paragraph 2.1.1.1(oa) of the Manual of Standards) unless the aerodrome is a joint user aerodrome with the civilian operator holding an aerodrome certificate under regulation 139.030 of CASR (s 9(2)). For designers working on non‑joint user military aerodromes, there is an extra obligation to enter arrangements with the aerodrome operator about obstacle monitoring (s 9(4)).

Verification and validation duties. Designers must establish verification procedures that comply with subregulations 173.090(2)-(4) (s 16). Each TIFP designed by a relevant designer for a listed military aerodrome must be validated by a CASA pilot in accordance with applicable Part 173 Manual of Standards requirements as applied or modified by Division 2 (s 17). Those are direct duties linking designers and CASA in the safety assurance chain.

Standards and modified compliance. Designers must design TIFP in accordance with ICAO Doc. 8168 and the Part 173 Manual of Standards as applied and modified in the instrument (s 11). If there is a conflict it is the Manual of Standards that controls for the designer where both would otherwise apply and cannot both be complied with (s 11(2)). Schedule 1 sets out circumstances where specific standards or Part 173 regulations do not apply to a designer, and where the chief designer’s certification statements may be modified (s 15; Schedule 1).

Navaid and flight‑inspection duties. Designers must ensure TIFP do not require ground‑based navaids that are not operated and maintained by a person certificated under Part 171 of CASR, except for the navaids listed in Schedule 2 where specific flight‑inspection arrangements and exceptions apply (s 19). For AA‑operated navaids Schedule 2 expressly requires AA to flight‑inspect listed navaids at specified intervals (Schedule 2, cl 2); for GAS the instrument requires GAS to take reasonable steps to ensure AA flight‑inspection in accordance with Table 2 (Schedule 2, cl 3).

The instrument itself is framed as directions made under regulation 11.245 of CASR (s 4(1)(a)). It prescribes obligations and prohibitions , for example, the restriction that no person other than a relevant designer or an employee of a relevant designer may carry out design work on a TIFP for the listed military aerodromes (s 7(1)-(2)) , but the instrument text does not specify standalone criminal offences, monetary penalties or an enforcement regime within its provisions. A careful reading shows:

The instrument gives CASA directions‑making power as the enabling head (s 4(1)(a)), and it modifies how designers must comply with particular CASR Part 173 provisions (s 18 and its table of modified provisions). The instrument therefore operates by altering the applicability and reach of existing CASR obligations on certified designers.
Enforcement consequences for non‑compliance are not enumerated in this instrument. The instrument does not state penalty amounts, infringement notice powers, or express criminal sanction clauses. That means enforcement will lie under the broader Civil Aviation Act 1988, CASR and associated regulatory mechanisms which give CASA powers to enforce compliance, including by administrative and civil enforcement, and where applicable by offences under the Act and regulations. The instrument itself does not add new penalties; it creates duties and prohibitions as directions under CASR.

Implications for regulated persons. Designers and others affected must treat the instrument’s directions as binding regulatory obligations for the period of the instrument (ss 4, 23). Failure to comply with those duties will expose the designer or person to CASA regulatory action under the existing enforcement framework of the Civil Aviation Act and CASR; the instrument does not change CASA’s enforcement powers but changes the content of the obligations CASA enforces with respect to TIFP at the listed aerodromes.

CASA involvement in safety assurance. The instrument increases direct CASA involvement in the design lifecycle: each TIFP must be validated by a CASA pilot (s 17), CASA must be provided with arrangements for obstacle monitoring (s 12(3)-(4)), and CASA must approve transfers of maintenance responsibility (s 21(2)). Those provisions embed CASA as an active participant in assurance and notification processes rather than merely as a distant regulator.

Time limit for regulatory obligations. The instrument’s directions cease to apply at the end of 30 November 2027 (s 23; s 26). Until that date, non‑compliance with directions will be actionable under the established CASA enforcement mechanisms. After repeal, the obligations in this instrument will no longer be in force; any enforcement interest would then revert to the underlying CASR regime absent other directions.

This instrument is expressly made under the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 and references the Civil Aviation Act 1988, the CASR Dictionary and various Manuals of Standards. It operates as a set of directions that modify the application of Part 173 of CASR for TIFP design at the listed military aerodromes. Key cross‑references and interactions in the text include:

Interaction with CASR Part 173 and Manual of Standards. Division 2 is made for purposes of regulation 11.245 of CASR (s 4(1)(a)). Section 11 requires designers to comply with ICAO Doc 8168 and the Part 173 Manual of Standards, subject to section 15 and any modifications in Division 2. Section 18 then sets out a table that prescribes how particular Part 173 provisions apply to relevant designers, with specific textual modifications (s 18 and the table). Schedule 1 provides the circumstances in which a standard or a Part 173 regulation does not apply to a relevant designer (s 15).

Effect on Part 139 (aerodrome) obligations. The instrument engages Part 139 Manual of Standards provisions for obstacle monitoring and reporting, but modifies their application because military aerodromes are generally outside the scope of Part 139. Section 12 modifies paragraph 6.1.5 of the Part 173 Manual of Standards so that a certified designer must provide diagrams and obstacle data to an aerodrome operator sufficient to enable the operator to fulfil obligations under Part 139, with adjustment where the aerodrome operator is Defence or where a civilian operator holds an aerodrome certificate under regulation 139.030 (s 12(1)-(2), notes). Section 13 requires arrangements with aerodrome operators to monitor obstacle limitation surfaces and PANS‑OPS surfaces where Part 139 does not otherwise apply (s 13(2)-(4)).

Interaction with the Airports Act and joint user aerodromes. Notes in s 9 and s 12 indicate that the Airports Act 1996 scheme may mean some listed aerodromes are joint user aerodromes and that civilian operators of joint user aerodromes may hold aerodrome certificates under regulation 139.030 of CASR. The application of some operations manual standards and the obligation to monitor obstacles differ where the civilian aerodrome operator holds such a certificate (s 9(2); s 12(1)-(2); notes).

ICAO documents and Australian Manuals. The instrument incorporates and prioritises parts of ICAO Doc 8168 (PANS‑OPS) and the Part 173 Manual of Standards (s 11). Where both an ICAO standard and a Manual of Standards standard apply and conflict, the Manual of Standards governs for the designer (s 11(2)). For GE, the instrument refers to ICAO Doc 9905 for RNP AR APCH design and allows GE to rely on its own design criteria documents for certain TIFP, with notification and operations manual obligations (Schedule 1 Part 3 clauses 9-12).

This compilation records the original instrument and amendments up to the compilation date. Key historical points are drawn from the instrument’s own Notes and Table of Amendments.

Commencement and original instrument. CASA 68/24,Terminal Instrument Flight Procedures (Military Aerodromes) Instrument 2024 was registered and commenced on 29 November 2024 at 4.47 pm (A.C.T.) (Notes; Table of Orders). The instrument was prepared and compiled by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority legal branch and is titled CASA 68/24.

First (documented) amendment. CASA 28/25 , Terminal Instrument Flight Procedures (Military Aerodromes) (GAS Pty Ltd) Amendment Instrument 2025 was registered on 14 May 2025 and commenced at 4.19 pm (A.C.T.) on that date (Notes; Table of Orders). The compilation notes list that amendment and indicate it affected several provisions, principally Schedule 1 Part 4 (GAS procedures), and subclause 13(4) was repealed and substituted (see Table of Amendments).

Table of Amendments entries. The instrument’s Table of Amendments (in the Notes) records specific amendments by provision:

section 2 and section 2A are recorded as repealed by references to the Legislation Act 2003 (Table of Amendments entries for sections 2 and 2A).
subsection 13(4) was repealed and substituted (rs) by F2025L00574 (the CASA 28/25 amendment).
Schedule 1, Part 1 heading and Part 2 heading were repealed (rs) by the same amendment instrument.
Schedule 1 subclause 5(2) was amended (am. F2025L00574).
Schedule 1 Part 4 clauses 13-18 were added (ad. F2025L00574), and clause 18 was added last in that batch (ad. F2025L00574).

Practical effect of amendments. The May 2025 amendment package (CASA 28/25) principally concerns the addition of Part 4 to Schedule 1, which imposes obligations and derogations specifically applying to Global Airspace Solutions (GAS) procedures at Nowra, Richmond, Edinburgh, Pearce and Amberley (Schedule 1 Part 4 clauses 13-18). The amendment therefore introduced new design marking requirements, overlapping‑procedure derogations, airspace buffer exceptions and operations manual obligations applicable to GAS. The Table of Amendments records these as additions with the F2025L00574 instrument reference.

Relevance of amendment entries. The Table of Amendments entries are the authoritative record in this compilation of when and how particular clauses were added, amended or repealed. Users should consult the Table of Amendments entries to trace the text history of specific clauses (Notes, Table of Amendments). The compilation indicates it was prepared on 14 May 2025 taking into account amendments up to CASA 28/25 (Notes).

The instrument itself is an administrative instrument and does not list court decisions or litigation. The compiled text contains no case citations and does not record any judicial review, challenge, or court disposition. The instrument’s Notes, Table of Orders and Table of Amendments record administrative instrument history only (commencement and amendment dates), not litigation.

What the instrument shows about possible litigation vectors. While no cases are named in the text, the instrument creates a regulatory architecture that could give rise to litigation or administrative review in the following fact patterns, should disputes arise:

challenges to CASA decisions under the enabling statute and regulations, for example a refusal to approve a transfer of maintenance responsibility under s 21(2) or disputes about whether a transferee can comply with the instrument’s directions (s 21(3)). Those decisions would be reviewable under standard administrative law channels, but the instrument does not itself describe appeal rights.
disputes about the interpretation of Schedule 1 derogations or the operation of s 11 where ICAO Doc 8168 and the Part 173 Manual of Standards conflict; questions about whether a designer complied with its operations manual obligations under s 9 and s 10; or whether a design improperly relied upon a ground navaid not allowed by s 19 could lead to enforcement action and then litigation.
operational disputes arising from the marking and overlay rules in Schedule 1 (for example the “Caution: procedure is overlaid” phrases required in Schedule 1 Part 1 cl 3 and Part 4 cl 15 and cl 17), which could feed into contractual or tort claims if parties assert loss or liability arising from use of a procedure published under these directions.

Absence of adjudicated authorities in the instrument. The instrument does not present any judicial interpretation or litigation‑derived principles. It modifies the statutory and standards landscape and thus can be the subject of future litigation, but there is no litigation history recorded in the instrument itself.

Practical advice arising from the absence of litigation history. Because the instrument is new and administratively detailed, practitioners should expect future administrative decisions by CASA to be the initial source of dispute rather than existing case law on the instrument. For parties facing CASA enforcement or approval decisions under this instrument the usual routes apply: seek internal administrative reviews, follow CASA consultation channels, and where necessary pursue judicial review in the relevant courts against maladministration, keeping in mind the instrument’s repeal date of 30 November 2027 (s 26).

The instrument contains several provisions that produce practical, non‑obvious compliance and operational consequences. These are points where designers, aerodrome operators and operators are likely to run into friction, and where contractual, scheduling and approval risks arise.

Exclusive designer limitation. The instrument restricts permitted design work for listed military aerodromes to the three named relevant designers and their employees (s 3 definition; s 6(1); s 7(1)-(2)). That produces an exclusionary effect: other certified designers cannot lawfully carry out or review this design work while the instrument is in force. If a non‑named certified designer is contracted by an aerodrome operator or operator to deliver TIFP work for a listed aerodrome, that contract will conflict with the instrument’s prohibition (s 7). Transfers of maintenance are possible but require CASA written approval (s 21(1)-(3)), so switching providers is not a frictionless market process.

Schedule 1 derogations and labelling obligations. Schedule 1 contains detailed, aerodrome‑specific derogations from Manual of Standards requirements and mandates cautionary phrases to be clearly marked on designs (Schedule 1 Parts 1-4, cl 3, cl 15, cl 17). Practitioners must ensure that prescribed wording is placed on design material exactly as required, and must track when and how those designs are to be published or withheld. Failure to include the mandated labelling could produce publication or operational issues.

Radio navigation aid constraints and flight inspection chains. Section 19 prohibits designs that require ground‑based navaids not operated by a Part 171 certificated provider unless the navaid appears in Schedule 2 and the specified flight‑inspection requirements are met (s 19(1)-(2)). Schedule 2 then requires AA to flight‑inspect many navaids at set intervals (Schedule 2 cl 2). Designers (and GAS in particular) must coordinate with AA concerning flight inspection, and GAS must take “all reasonable steps” to ensure AA conducts flight inspection for navaids listed in Table 2 (Schedule 2 cl 3(2)). That means design timetables can be constrained by AA’s operational capacity and flight‑inspection scheduling. A designer cannot simply rely on unavailable navaids.

Operations manual and procedure verification obligations. Relevant designers must maintain operations manuals meeting Part 173 Manual of Standards and must comply with those manuals in carrying out permitted design work (s 9(1); s 10). Verification procedures must follow subregulations 173.090(2)-(4) as applied by s 16. Designers should not assume that having a manual is sufficient; the instrument makes compliance with the manual an active duty.

The following is a practical compliance checklist for a relevant designer, aerodrome operator or service provider working with TIFP at a listed military aerodrome. Each step cites the instrument provision that creates the duty.

For relevant designers (AA, GAS, GE)

Confirm scope of permitted design work.
- Verify that the TIFP type is within the designer’s procedure design certificate and that any conditions on that certificate relevant to the procedure type are met (s 6(2)(a)-(b); s 6(3)).
- Ensure only the designer or employees acting in the course of their duties carry out the design work (s 6(2)(c); s 7(1)-(2)).
Operations manual and organisational controls.
- Maintain an operations manual meeting the Part 173 Manual of Standards for the permitted design work (s 9(1)).
- Where applicable, include the specific items required by GE and GAS in their operations manuals: GE must include remote supervision procedures (Schedule 1 Part 3 cl 8); GAS must include copies of this instrument and any other directions (Schedule 1 Part 4 cl 18).
- Comply with the operations manual in carrying out design work (s 10).
Design standards and exceptions.
- Design TIFP in accordance with ICAO Doc 8168 and the Part 173 Manual of Standards as applied and modified by this Division, subject to Schedule 1 exceptions (s 11; s 15; Schedule 1). Where compliance with both ICAO and the Manual is impossible, comply with the Manual (s 11(2)).
Verification, validation and CASA interaction.
- Establish verification procedures conforming to subregulations 173.090(2)-(4) as applied (s 16).
- Arrange validation: each TIFP must be validated by a CASA pilot in accordance with applicable Manual of Standards standards as applied (s 17).
- Provide CASA in writing with details of arrangements with aerodrome operators concerning obstacle data and other listed matters within 60 days after commencement or the arrangement being made (s 12(3)-(4)). If unable to enter into the arrangements required by s 13(2), notify CASA as soon as practicable (s 14).
Obstacle monitoring arrangements with aerodrome operators.
- If the aerodrome is not a joint user aerodrome with a civilian operator holding an aerodrome certificate under reg 139.030, enter written arrangements for the aerodrome operator to monitor OLS and PANS‑OPS surfaces, checking approach, take‑off and transitional surfaces to accuracy within 0.05% of published gradients, other OLS surfaces and critical nominated obstacles, and require the operator to notify the designer of any obstacle changes per Part 139 MoS requirements (s 13(2)-(4)).

(b) any conditions set out in the procedure design certificate that are applicable to the type of terminal instrument flight procedure;

(c) the design work must not be carried out by a person other than the designer or an employee of the designer who carries out the design work in the course of the employee’s duties.

(3) In this instrument:

permitted design work means design work for a terminal instrument flight procedure mentioned in subsection (1):

(a) that is of a type that is covered by a relevant designer’s procedure design certificate; and

(b) to which the conditions (if any), set out in the designer’s procedure design certificate, that are applicable to the type of terminal instrument flight procedure, apply.

7 Design work at listed military aerodrome for aircraft other than state aircraft

(1) A person must not carry out design work on a terminal instrument flight procedure for use by an aircraft, other than a state aircraft, operating under the IFR at, or in the vicinity of a listed military aerodrome, unless the person is a relevant designer, or the employee of a relevant designer, who carries out the design work in accordance with subsection 6(2).

(2) A person must not review or amend a terminal instrument flight procedure mentioned in subsection (1) unless the person is:

(a) a relevant designer carrying out permitted design work; or

(b) an employee of the designer mentioned in paragraph (a) who reviews or amends the procedure in the course of the employee’s duties.

8 Designing instrument flight procedures other than terminal instrument flight procedures

A person who designs an instrument flight procedure that is not a terminal instrument flight procedure, for use by an aircraft, other than a state aircraft, operating under the IFR at, or in the vicinity of, a listed military aerodrome must, in designing the procedure, meet any standards for the design of such a procedure set out in the Part 173 Manual of Standards.

9 Operations manual requirements

(1) A relevant designer carrying on permitted design work must ensure that it maintains an operations manual, that meets the standards for operations manuals set out in the Part 173 Manual of Standards, in relation to the design work.

(2) Despite subsection (1), the standard in paragraph 2.1.1.1(oa) of the Manual of Standards only applies to the designer if:

(a) the design work is for a listed military aerodrome that is a joint user aerodrome; and

(b) the aerodrome operator that operates the aerodrome for civil aircraft operations holds an aerodrome certificate granted by CASA under regulation 139.030 of CASR.

Note Paragraph 2.1.1.1(oa) requires the operations manual to include a statement that a design for a terminal instrument flight procedure may only be completed and given for verification, validation or publication for a certified aerodrome.

Note: Regulation 139.025 of CASR requires the operator of an aerodrome to have an aerodrome certificate if there is a terminal instrument flight procedure for the aerodrome.

Note: The regulations generally do not apply in respect of military aerodromes (see subregulation 3(5) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988). However, at the commencement of this instrument, the civilian aerodrome operators of the joint user aerodromes, Darwin and Townsville, were the holders of an aerodrome certificate granted by CASA under regulation 139.030 of CASR, under the scheme established by the Airports Act 1996.

(3) Subsection (4) applies to a relevant designer carrying on permitted design work if the design work is for a listed military aerodrome other than a joint user aerodrome mentioned in subsection (2).

(4) In addition to the requirements of subsections (1) and (2), the designer must also comply with the requirements of subsection 13(2) (arrangements with aerodrome operator regarding obstacles data).

(5) A relevant designer must comply with the requirements in subregulations 173.075(2) and (3) of CASR, as if the reference in paragraph 173.075(2)(b) to “design work under the designer’s procedure design certificate” were a reference to “permitted design work”.

10 Compliance with operations manual

A relevant designer must, in carrying on permitted design work, comply with the designer’s operations manual as it applies to the design work.

11 Standards for design of terminal instrument flight procedure for civil aircraft at military aerodromes

(1) A relevant designer designing a terminal flight procedure mentioned in subsection 6(1) that is of a type covered by the designer’s procedure design certificate, must ensure the procedure is designed in accordance with:

(a) subject to section 15, any applicable standards set out or referred to in ICAO Doc. 8168 (PANS‑OPS); and

(b) any applicable standards set out in the Part 173 Manual of Standards, subject to section 15 and any provision in this Division that modifies a standard.

(2) If, apart from this subsection:

(a) the designer would be required to ensure that a terminal instrument flight procedure is designed in accordance with a standard set out or referred to in the ICAO Doc. 8168 (PANS‑OPS) and a standard of the Part 173 Manual of Standards mentioned in paragraph (1)(b); and

(b) it is not possible to comply with both standards;

the designer is only required to ensure that the procedure is designed in accordance with the Manual of Standards.

12 Obstacle clearance advice to aerodrome operators—Part 173 Manual of Standards requirements

(1) Paragraph 6.1.5 of the Part 173 Manual of Standards (Obstacle clearance advice to aerodrome operators) applies to a relevant designer in relation to a terminal instrument flight procedure mentioned in subsection 6(1) that is of a type covered by the designer’s procedure design certificate:

(a) as if:

(i) the words “the aerodrome operator’s” were inserted before “obligations”; and

(ii) the words “as required under CASR Part 139” were omitted; or

(b) if CASA has granted an aerodrome certificate under regulation 139.030 of CASR to a civilian aerodrome operator in respect of a joint user aerodrome—as if the reference in paragraph 6.1.5 to “as required under CASR Part 139” were a reference to “in accordance with the requirements of CASR Part 139”.

Note Paragraph 6.1.5 requires the certified designer to provide diagrams and obstacle data to an aerodrome operator sufficient to enable the operator to fulfil obligations to report and monitor obstacles in the vicinity of an aerodrome, as required under Part 139 of CASR.

Note: The regulations (and therefore Part 139) generally do not apply to military aerodromes (see subregulation 3(5) of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988). However, at the commencement of this instrument, the civilian aerodrome operators of the joint user aerodromes, Darwin and Townsville, were the holders of an aerodrome certificate granted by CASA under regulation 139.030 of CASR, under the scheme established by the Airports Act 1996.

(2) To avoid doubt, for the purposes of subsection (1) above, or paragraph 6.1.5 of the Part 173 Manual of Standards as modified by subsection (1), if the listed military aerodrome is a joint user aerodrome, the relevant designer of a terminal instrument flight procedure for the aerodrome must comply with the requirements of paragraph 6.1.5 in respect of each aerodrome operator of that aerodrome.

(3) A relevant designer must provide details to CASA on any arrangements the designer makes with the aerodrome operator of a listed military aerodrome for the purposes of:

(a) subsection (2) of this section; or

(b) paragraph 2.1.1.1(h) of the Part 173 Manual of Standards (including arrangements required by subsection 13(2) of this instrument); or

(4) The designer must provide the information about an arrangement, required by subsection (3), to CASA in writing, within 60 days after:

(a) this instrument commences; or

(b) the arrangement is made;

whichever occurs later.

Note Under paragraph 6.1.5 of the Part 173 Manual of Standards, the designer must forward the information required by the standard for a procedure to the operator before the effective publication date of the procedure.

(5) Subsection (6) applies if, for the purposes of paragraph 6.1.5 of the Manual of Standards:

(a) the relevant designer provides information to an aerodrome operator for the purposes of the operator’s obligations in relation to reporting and monitoring obstacles in the vicinity of the aerodrome; and

(b) the operator is the Defence Force, or a part of the Defence Force; and

(6) The designer must also provide the information to the other aerodrome operator of the joint user aerodrome.

13 Arrangements—monitoring of obstacles associated with instrument runways

(1) This section does not apply in relation to a joint user aerodrome if the civilian operator of the aerodrome holds an aerodrome certificate granted by CASA under regulation 139.030 of CASR.

Note An aerodrome operator of a joint user aerodrome who is complying with Part 139 of CASA is required to monitor any object or structure that may infringe upon the aerodrome’s obstacle limitation surfaces and PANS-OPS airspace associated with instrument approaches: see subsection 7.20(3) of the Part 139 Manual of Standards.

(2) For the purposes of paragraph 9(4), the arrangements mentioned in paragraph 2.1.1.1(h) of the Part 173 Manual of Standards must include an arrangement the relevant designer makes with an aerodrome operator of a listed military aerodrome, under which the aerodrome operator monitors any object or structure that may infringe the aerodrome’s obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS) and PANS-OPS surfaces associated with instrument approach procedures.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), the monitoring of obstacles should include a check of:

(a) the approach, take-off, and transitional surfaces to ensure published aerodrome information is accurate to within 0.05% of the published gradient in the AIP-ERSA; and

(b) the other surfaces associated with the OLS; and

(c) the critical obstacles nominated by the designer for any terminal instrument flight procedures published for the aerodrome.

(4) The arrangement:

(a) must require the aerodrome operator to notify the designer of any change in relation to obstacles, in accordance with the requirements of subsection 7.20(3) of the Part 139 Manual of Standards; and

(b) must be agreed to in writing by the aerodrome operator.

(5) In this instrument:

AIP-ERSA means Aeronautical Information Publication – En Route Supplement of Australia.

obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS) has the same meaning as in Part 139 Manual of Standards.

PANS-OPS surface, in relation to an aerodrome, is a surface ascertained in accordance with the procedures in ICAO Doc. 8168 (PANS‑OPS).

14 Notifying CASA—arrangements for notifying change in obstacles

If a relevant designer to whom section 13 applies is unable to enter into an arrangement mentioned in subsection 13(2), the designer must notify CASA, in writing, as soon as practicable after becoming aware that such an arrangement cannot be made.

15 Circumstances in which a standard, regulation, etc. does not apply—Schedule 1

Standards set out in Part 173 Manual of Standards or ICAO Doc. 8168

(1) Schedule 1 sets out circumstances in which a standard:

(a) set out in a provision of the Part 173 Manual of Standards (as applied or modified under this Division); or

(b) set out or referred to in ICAO Doc. 8168 (PANS‑OPS);

does not apply to a relevant designer.

Part 173 regulations

(2) Despite a provision in this Division that requires a relevant designer to comply with a provision in Part 173 of CASR (whether or not modified under this Division), Schedule 1 sets out circumstances in which the designer is not required to comply with the provision.

Responsibilities of chief designer—section 22

(3) Despite section 22, Schedule 1 may set out circumstances in which a relevant designer’s chief designer is not required to comply with the section.

Direction that Schedule 1 requirements must be met

(4) If Schedule 1 sets out requirements to be met by a person in relation to circumstances mentioned in subsection (1), (2) or (3), the person must meet the requirements.

16 Verification of terminal instrument flight procedures

A relevant designer must establish procedures for verifying terminal instrument flight procedures for which the design work is permitted design work, that comply with the requirements of subregulations 173.090(2), (3) and (4) of CASR.

17 Validation of terminal instrument flight procedures

A relevant designer must ensure that each terminal instrument flight procedure mentioned in subsection 6(1) of a type covered by the designer’s procedure design certificate, that it designs for a listed military aerodrome, is validated by a CASA pilot (within the meaning of subregulation 173.095(2) of CASR) in accordance with any applicable standards set out in the Part 173 Manual of Standards (as applied or modified under this Division).
