3.01 Carriage of documents—all flights

(1) For the purposes of paragraph 121.085(1)(a) of CASR, the following documents are prescribed for carriage on a flight: (a) the aircraft flight manual instructions for the aeroplane; (b) either: (i) the flight technical log for the aeroplane; or (ii) if Part 42 of CASR does not apply to the aeroplane—the maintenance release for the aeroplane; (c) the minimum equipment list for the aeroplane; (d) the configuration deviation list (if any) for the aeroplane; (e) the operational flight plan for the flight; (f) the journey log for the flight; (g) the authorised aeronautical information for the flight; (h) the weight and balance documents for the flight.

Note 1: These documents are in addition to documents required to be carried on the aeroplane under subregulations 121.085(2) and (3), and regulation 121.095, of CASR.

Note 2: Other documents may also be required to be carried on the aeroplane under other legislation. For example, documentation regarding the carriage of dangerous goods under Part 92 of CASR, or documentation relating to disinsection requirements and procedures under the Biosecurity Act 2015.

(2) Despite paragraph (1)(a), if:

(a) the information and instructions that are required under the relevant airworthiness standards for the aeroplane to be included in the aeroplane’s flight manual are contained in another document; and
(b) the other document is carried on board the aeroplane; and
(c) that document does not alter, or contain anything that would conflict with, the information or instructions mentioned in paragraph (a);

then the document may be carried on board the aeroplane in place of the flight manual.

Note: An exposition that meets the requirements in subsection (2) could be carried on board instead of the flight manual.
