Subparagraph 20.01(2)(c)(iv) and section 20.03The combined effect of these 2 rules meant that during medical transport operations, infants, or children under 6, were not allowed to be carried during flight in the arms of an adult who was occupying a stretcher instead of a seat.

In subparagraph 20.01(2)(c)(iv), an adult occupying a stretcher has been added.

Section 26.48When consulting in 2018, CASA’s policy was to allow single engine aircraft to fly over water beyond glide range without a portable ELT (now called a survival ELT), if the aircraft had a radio or another means of communicating with a person on the ground. This was accidentally omitted from the published Part 91 MOS.New subsection 26.48(3A) added to incorporate the appropriate alleviations

Section 1.03 of the rules specifies which versions of named documents are required to be used. In relation to section 26.72C requiring compliance with the UK CAA Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 1391, this would require compliance with the latest version of this CAP.

However, the policy objective was to allow compliance with any version of this CAP that was the 2nd edition or later.

A definition of “UK CAP 1391” has been added to section 26.67 enabling the use of the 2nd edition or later.
