CASA Certification Granted To Design Instrument Flight
Procedures In Australia
Jeppesen has been granted certification by the Civil Aviation
Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia to design, validate and
maintain instrument flight procedures. The certification, granted
under CASR Part 173, authorizes Jeppesen to create Performance
Based Navigation (PBN) procedures such as Required Navigation
Performance (RNP) Special Aircraft and Aircrew Authorization
Required (SAAAR) as well as conventional VOR, ILS and RNAV
procedures.
In order to qualify for the certification, Jeppesen submitted
multiple examples of each procedure type for which certification
was sought and a review of training records and credentials,
documenting that Jeppesen's procedure design staff meets CASA
requirements for chief designers and acting chief designers.
"Certification from CASA allows Jeppesen to bring its expertise
and comprehensive procedure design solutions to the Australian
aviation market," said Sandy Stedman, vice-president, Government
and Industry Affairs for Jeppesen. "CASA's support and guidance
were invaluable as we sought certification."
Jeppesen is the only third-party provider certified to deliver
both PBN and conventional procedures in Australia. With this
certification, Jeppesen will design public procedures that improve
access across the spectrum. Access to underserved airports in
Australia will be improved and, at the same time, availability of
public use procedures will improve airspace system efficiencies at
major airports throughout Australia.
Jeppesen holds similar procedure design certification from the
US Federal Aviation Administration, and has experience designing
PBN and conventional procedures in other regions, including China,
Taiwan, New Zealand and Panama. Jeppesen procedure design services
are ISO 9001 certified.
