Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This instrument is a targeted CASA delegate exemption (Exemption No. 2/95) that relieves pilots‑in‑command of floatplanes operated by Aquatic Air Pty Ltd (South Pacific Seaplanes) and Sydney Harbour Seaplanes Pty Ltd from complying with paragraphs 166(1)(d),(f) and (g) while operating the floatplane.

It substitutes that regulatory duty with three conditions: a take‑off/landing turning requirement to allow a water landing if the engine fails, obedience to Air Traffic Control, and company‑level procedures added to each operator’s operations manual — giving pilots operational flexibility but imposing documentation and compliance costs on the two companies and their pilots.
