CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Section 1.1: General
1.1.1 Background
1.1.1.1 The following matters for compliance are intended to be relatively ‘high level’ in recognition of other safety system elements that, in aggregate, will ensure a training system of appropriate integrity; these include related parts of draft CASR Part 65 and its supporting MOS and AC.
1.1.2 Document Set
1.1.2.1 The document hierarchy consists of:
(a) relevant Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs);
(b) the Manual of Standards (MOS); and
(c) Advisory Circulars (ACs).
1.1.2.2 The regulatory documents establish, for service providers, a comprehensive description of system requirements and the means of meeting them.
1.1.2.3 CASRs establish the regulatory framework (Regulations) within which all service providers must operate.
1.1.2.4 The MOS comprises specifications (Standards) prescribed by CASA, of uniform application, determined to be necessary for the safety of air navigation. In those parts of the MOS where it is necessary to establish the context of standards to assist in their comprehension, the sense of parent regulations has been reiterated. The MOS is a disallowable instrument. This means that it is a legislative instrument that becomes effective on publication in the Government Gazette and it must be tabled in Parliament within fifteen sitting days from when it was made and is subject to scrutiny by Parliament.
1.1.2.5 Readers should understand that in the circumstance of any perceived disparity of meaning between MOS and CASRs, primacy of intent rests with the regulations. Where there is any inconsistency between the regulations and the MOS, the regulations prevail.
1.1.2.6 Service providers must document internal actions (Rules) in their own operational manuals, to ensure the maintenance of and compliance with standards.
1.1.2.7 ACs are intended to provide recommendations and guidance to illustrate a means, but not necessarily the only means, of complying with the Regulations. ACs may explain certain regulatory requirements by providing interpretive and explanatory materials. It is expected that service providers will document internal actions in their own operational manuals, to put into effect those, or similarly adequate, practices.
