Whether
aviation is your business or your pleasure, the moment
you enter the aviation world you must work within the
Civil Aviation Rules. There are many Rules, and they all
serve the same purpose - aviation safety. Everyone in
aviation - a student pilot, engineer, air traffic
controller, aircraft owner, builder, importer or a
member of any one of the dozens of support organisations
- needs to know the Rules that apply to them.
Rules state
the minimum levels of safety, and if you are not
operating at or above those levels - you are
breaking the law. The Rules set a standard so that
everyone in aviation can have a shared understanding
of the right way to operate. Everyone in the
aviation industry needs to be able to count on their
colleagues to protect their livelihoods, reputations
and lives, by complying to the Rules.
In accordance with section 32(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1990, each Civil Aviation Rule made by the Minister of Transport must contain a statement specifying the objective of the rule and the extent of any consultation undertaken. It has been brought to our attention that the required statements have not been available on this web site. This is being rectified as soon as possible. Rule amendments that have been published on the web site since mid 1999 should contain the required statement. In the interim, should anyone wish to view the statement for an original Rule Part or any particular Amendment, a request to: info@caa.govt.nz would be appropriate. |
