Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This exemption allows Regional Pacific Airlines to operate Embraer EMB‑120 flights on specified Cairns/Townsville–Port Moresby/Lae and Cape York–Gove/Groote/Darwin routes without carrying life rafts. In lieu of rafts, aircraft must remain within the lesser of 60 minutes’ flight on one engine or 200 nautical miles of a suitable aerodrome. It replaces a 2004 exemption, expires end‑May 2008, and balances raft removal (weight/cost savings) against maintained safety via proximity to emergency landing strips.
