Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument lets air traffic controllers at Sydney Airport keep their Precision Runway Monitoring (PRM) endorsement without meeting the usual recency rule, by allowing a flexible 5-hour-in-21-days duty test (including use of the Sydney PRM simulator). CASA must approve any simulator changes. It affects YSSY controllers handling PRM and runs from 1 Aug 2015 to end of July 2018 (replacing EX118/12).
