Proposed amendments include:
- Maintaining a consistent approach to aviation rescue and firefighting services (ARFFS) at Australian aerodromes – the requirement for ARFFS to be planned at alternate aerodromes as enroute alternate for extended diversion time operations (EDTO) will not be introduced.
- Replacing transitional RNP-based engine-out departure procedure (EODP) obstacle assessment area (OAA) requirements for operators with highly capable aeroplanes.
- Permitting reduced pre-flight destination aerodrome wet or contaminated pre-flight landing performance where an alternate aerodrome is planned.
- Limiting alternate aerodrome minima to be no higher than destination aerodrome minima.
- Improving alternate aerodrome minima requirements by adding an extra item to the alternate aerodrome minima table.
- Allowing isolated destination aerodromes to be planned to have a destination alternate aerodrome.
- Aligning instrument approach classifications to reflect updated Part 91 MOS changes.
- Amending the definition of TAWS Class-A and TAWS Class-B to permit an earlier version of the technical specification.
