Also: Important UPDATE!

Fatigue Management, CAO 48.1 Instrument 2019

CASA has introduced new fatigue management requirements in CAO 48.1 Instrument 2019. Questions based on this Instrument will be introduced into exams, where appropriate, from 2 September 2019. Information, where necessary, will be provided to candidates in each question so they know which appendix to use.

Where the 'Permitted Material' for an exam includes 'CAO 20-95.2', this automatically includes CAO 48.1 Instrument 2019 and any subsequent amendment.

Exam questions are based on the current version of these documents.
