PART 2 RELEVANT PERMITS

- 7 Application for, and grant of, a relevant permit
PART 3 RELEVANT ENDORSEMENTS
- 8 Application for, and grant of, a relevant endorsement
PART 4 EXEMPTIONS
- 9 Exemption — pilot maintenance on relevant aircraft
- Note 1 The requirements of subparagraphs 42ZC(4)(db)(ii) and (iii) of CAR must also be complied with, namely: (a) the maintenance is specified in Part 2 of Schedule 8 of CAR; and (b) the maintenance is carried out in accordance with any conditions prescribed by legislative instrument issued by CASA for the purposes of this subparagraph. The maintenance is colloquially referred to as pilot maintenance. Note 2 Under regulation 2 of CAR, a class B aircraft is one that is not a class A aircraft. The class A aircraft definition excludes balloons. The effect of this subsection is that a private pilot (balloon) permit without a relevant endorsement is limited to a Part 131 aircraft with an envelope size of no greater than 120 000 cubic feet. Consequently, for such a pilot, pilot maintenance under this subsection is limited to a Part 131 aircraft with an envelope size of no greater than 120 000 cubic feet. However, if the pilot has an endorsement for a Part 131 aircraft with an envelope size of greater than 120 000 cubic feet, then the pilot may carry out pilot maintenance on that larger aircraft. 10 Exemptions — Part 131 pilot authorisation
