NPRM 0908OS-Carriage & use of radios at, or in the vicinity of, non-towered aerodromes

I have copied this from Lee's email so if you accidently delete your email or forget where you put it... here it is...

As you may already be aware, a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) was issued on 28th September by CASA on the dual topics of:

- mandatory carriage of radios at non-towered aerodromes or in the vicinity

- changes in CAR 166 & 166A governing operations at or near non-controlled aerodromes.

Regulatory amendments are not expected to be effective until early 2010, if the changes go ahead. A brief summary of the proposal and CASA’s view point is given below but we do recommend you read the NPRM yourself for full details. (There is a neat, single page, summary of proposed changes on page 8 of the document.)

This is your opportunity to express your opinions to CASA. So follow the link below to the CASA website, read the NPRM and have your say. CASA will accept comments via email, fax, post or through CASA’s online comment facility – details of these can be found at the bottom of this webpage: http://casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:PWA::pc=PC_93417  The deadline for replies to CASA is close of business, 23rd October 2009. Please do not reply to this email as the address is not monitored.
