Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily exempted pilots and cabin crew who moved from Virgin Australia New Zealand to Virgin Australia International from repeating three specific practical emergency drills (flight deck window escape, slide jump, initial wet drill). It applied only if they continued on the same aircraft type and could produce VANZ training records to CASA on request.

It recognised VANZ training as equivalent, avoiding duplicate retraining; the exemption expired in September 2017.
