Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument gives pilots at the 2015 Australian International Air Show temporary permission to turn right after take-off instead of the usual left turn required by aviation rules.

Who it affects: Pilots in command of aircraft performing at the Avalon Air Show between 19 February and 1 March 2015.

Why it matters: Normally, the Civil Aviation Regulations require pilots to fly left-hand circuits (turning left after take-off). For safety and display logistics at Avalon, this exemption allows right-hand turns on specific runways (08, 18, 19, and 26).

Key conditions:

Pilots must only turn when they have reached a safe speed and height
Turns must ensure safe separation from spectators
All turns in the circuit pattern must be to the right (not left)
This replaces an earlier similar exemption (CASA EX142/14)
