Have your Say: Future of Vertiport Design

20/12/2022

 
With the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft rapidly moving ahead, we are preparing for the new, futuristic transport terminals where they will take-off and land: vertiports.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority have prepared draft guidance material, also known as an advisory circular, which sets out the design guidelines for future vertiports and are seeking feedback. CASA have opened a public consultation to anyone active in the AAM, uncrewed, or crewed aviation industry to gain your feedback.
To learn more about vertiports before providing feedback, CASA is hosting a series of free webinars:
  • 19 January 2023 at 2 pm AEDT - Physical characteristics of a vertiport
  • 2 February 2023 at 2 pm AEDT - Obstacle limitation surfaces for a vertiport
  • 16 February 2023 at 2 pm AEDT - Visual aids of a vertiport
Visit the Consultation Hub to have your say. Consultations close 31 March 2023.

Have your say on a structured supervision program for pilots

10/10/2022

 
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) are seeking feedback on the first Advisory Circular (AC) on pilot supervision.  Contact CASA to provide your insights into:
  • the concept: should pilots - who are flying for an operator without a training system - have a period of supervision after joining an organisation or obtaining new qualifications?
  • the content and readability: are the messages understood and clearly explained?
  • the examples: are they realistic? 
  • whether you think operators - to whom the AC applies - will adopt pilot supervision as part of their training process.
