Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption lets airline pilots holding an ATPL, who work for carriers with approved training/checking programs, follow a simpler 35‑day recency rule instead of the usual Civil Aviation Order requirements. If a pilot hasn’t flown a type within 35 days they must re-establish currency by brief flying (either two take‑offs and landings or one hour including a take‑off and landing) before commanding passengers.

It applies only to scheduled airline services, ran from 1 Mar 2007–28 Feb 2009, and carriers must retain the exemption in their operations manual.
