Part 4 — Recognised NVIS qualifications for NVIS operations
13 Chief pilot or head of operations
An NVIS operator’s chief pilot or head of operations (as the case may be) must:
(a) be an NVIS pilot with 50 hours of post-endorsement NVIS flying experience, and be a pilot in command; or
(b) hold a CASA instrument of approval stating that a named NVIS senior pilot appointed by the NVIS operator is approved by CASA to carry out the duties of chief pilot for NVIS operations.
Note Before CASA issues an instrument of approval of a senior pilot for this purpose, CASA will assess the senior pilot to the chief pilot level for the NVIS elements of the operator’s operations.
