The MOS provides technical details on the requirements in Part 131 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR).
In response to industry input including advice from the Aviation Safety Advisory Panel and Part 131 MOS Technical Working Group, we deferred making the Part 131 MOS in 2021. We have been working with industry to progress the remaining issues.
The outcome of continued discussions between CASA, the Part 131 MOS Technical Working Group (TWG) and other industry representatives has resulted in several new policy amendments and rewording of some sections of the draft MOS for clarity.
Your input will help us check that the policy is fit for purpose and the rules in the MOS work as intended.

Activities to support consultation
To help industry understand how the proposed MOS interacts with CASR Part 91 and Part 131 that apply to balloons and hot air airships, as well as relevant guidance materials and advisory documents, we've published a draft guide to the rules.
We also held an information session about the rules applying to balloons and are hosting online drop-in sessions during the consultation period to answer questions.
