Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily exempts air traffic controllers and flight service officers from the usual recency rules by allowing an alternative qualification: performing at least 5 hours of normal duties within the previous 21 days satisfies recency. Time on the Sydney Precision Radar Monitoring simulator may count, but changes to that simulator need CASA approval. The exemption runs until the end of July 2010.
