Australia: Air Traffic Controllers

Part 172 of Australia's civil aviation regulation (CAR), pertaining to air traffic services and controllers, has been amended several times, but this is the first comprehensive review of both the regulation and its manual of standards. Proposed amendments include: introducing requirements covering controller fatigue, setting requirements for an accountable manager and key personnel, simplify the hierarchical structure for the various standards to which a controller must comply, and rearrange the layout of Part 172 to match the layout of other new CARs. Comments are due July 8, 2022.
