Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument grants Helicorp Pty Ltd a temporary (1 July 2005–30 June 2006) exemption from Australia’s requirement to operate a formal pilot training and checking organisation for its Erickson S‑64 Air‑Crane helicopters, allowing them to conduct firefighting-only crew flights under alternative safety arrangements. It matters because Helicorp may use FAA/Erickson training standards and documented Chief Pilot verification instead of the usual domestic TCO regime, subject to holding the relevant Air Operator’s Certificate.
