Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This CASA exemption allows Alliance Airlines to operate specific Fokker F28 MK 100 aircraft over water without carrying life rafts, provided the aircraft remain within close range of a suitable airport.

Normally, Australian aviation regulations require aircraft to carry life rafts when flying over water. This exemption relieves Alliance Airlines of that requirement for specific flights, but only under strict conditions:

The exemption applies only to Fokker F28 MK 100 aircraft operated by Alliance Airlines;
It covers only non-extended range operations (flights staying relatively close to land);
The aircraft must stay within the lesser of:
- 60 minutes flying time at single-engine cruising speed, or
- 351 nautical miles from an "adequate aerodrome" (a suitable airport meeting specific safety standards).

The exemption was temporary, applying from registration until the end of July 2007.
