Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption lets Australian-registered aircraft that don’t meet the equipment specified in CAO 20.18 operate without that exact flight and navigation kit, provided they use alternative equipment that offers an equivalent level of safety. The aircraft’s type certificating authority must confirm equivalence taking actual operations into account. It thus permits safe, non‑standard systems (e.g., modern digital replacements) to be used legally.
