Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption lets private owners of simple Class A aircraft (typical piston Cessnas/Pipers used for personal flying) skip certain detailed maintenance record-keeping requirements in the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988, replacing an earlier CASA 12/97 exemption.

It still requires maintenance by an approved/legally authorised organisation and a named person responsible for scheduling work. It does not apply to commercial operations or complex aircraft.
