Both the ‘old’ CAO 48.0/48.1 dated 2004 and the ‘new’ CAO 48.1 Instrument 2013 are current documents and may be used in exams where CAOs are permitted. As a transition period exists in relation to these CAOs, questions may be asked relating to either in CASA exams. Where appropriate, a comment may be placed with a question to guide the candidate as to which version of CAOs the question is examining.

After 26th March 2020, the 2004 version of CAO 48.0/48.1 will be repealed and no longer used for any flight and duty time questions.

Where the ‘Permitted Material’ for an exam includes “CAO 20-95.2” this automatically includes:
CAO 48.0/48.1 dated 2004; and
CAO 48.1 Instrument 2013; and
Any amendments to these documents.

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