Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument specifies the mandatory information airlines must electronically submit to the Department of Home Affairs (Customs) about aircrew members before an aircraft arrives in Australia.

Under the Customs Act 1901, airlines must report six specific data points for each crew member in a standardized format:

Travel Document Number – the full passport number, including any leading zeroes
Country of Nationality – the 3-letter ICAO code (international aviation code) shown in the passport
Surname and Given Names – exactly as they appear in the passport, separated by spaces
Date of Birth – in the specific format Day/Month/Year (e.g., 01/12/1990), including all leading zeroes
Sex – either 'M' for male or 'F' for female, as shown in the passport

This creates a uniform technical standard for pre-arrival security screening of flight crew.
