3/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily allowed certain CASA‑authorised aviation safety officials to approve short‑term aircraft modifications or repairs that do not fully meet normal airworthiness design standards, but only for aircraft on special flight permits or experimental certificates used for R&D or test flights. Approvals required hazard assessment and could include flight limits or other safety measures; the exemption ran 2011–2014.
