Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This CASA exemption allowed Singapore Flying College’s authorised instructors to provide flight training in Australia without Australian flight‑instructor ratings, provided strict safety conditions were met. It affected the College (ARN 901286), its employed instructors, and eligible student pilots.

Training was limited to Cessna 172 or Beechcraft 58 aircraft, students needed minimum flight experience, testing had to follow a CASA‑approved syllabus and be conducted by a CASA‑authorised examiner, and training had to be employment‑based. The exemption ran from 2008 until end of November 2010.
