Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Direction requires the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to place, on the first page of every Civil Aviation Order issued after 6 March 2001, a note stating the “Relevant Authorising Provision” — the specific section(s) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 or provision(s) of the Regulations to which the Order specifically relates. The Direction expressly excludes subsections 98(4A), 98(5), Regulation 5 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 and other provisions that merely confer the power to issue Orders.

The measure changes CASA’s administrative practice (CASA bears any implementation cost) and provides Order recipients with an explicit citation of legal authority; it does not itself expand or reduce CASA’s statutory powers.
