It has come to our attention that there is a mis-alignment between the questions and answers in Part 2 of ATPL FRAL.
Please disregard question 29 and then adjust the numerical order of the following questions accordingly.
They will then correctly align with the answers.

CASR 1998 Part 61 introduced changes to flight crew licensing in Australia.
This is an interim advice for our customers until we can produce a new edition of our book.
Apologies – but we are struggling to cope.
It has come to our attention that there is a mis-print on IFG 2016 Page 34 (IFG 2017 Page 40) of the IFG, regarding the recency requirements for the carriage of passengers at night.
The IFG incorrectly states that the pilot must have completed 3 take-offs and landing within the previous 90 days, by day or night. This should read conducted at night. The actual regulation states as follows:.
(1) The holder of a pilot licence is authorised to pilot, during take-off or landing, an aircraft of a particular category carrying a passenger by day only if the holder has, within the previous 90 days, in an aircraft of that category or an approved flight simulator for the purpose, conducted, by day or night:
(a) at least 3 take-offs; and
(b) at least 3 landings;
while controlling the aircraft or flight simulator.
(2) The holder of a pilot licence is authorised to pilot, during take-off or landing, an aircraft of a particular category carrying a passenger at night only if the holder has, within the previous 90 days, in an aircraft of that category or an approved flight simulator for the purpose, conducted, at night:
(a) at least 3 take-offs; and
(b) at least 3 landings;
while controlling the aircraft or flight simulator.
(3) For paragraphs (1)(a) and (2)(a), each take-off must be followed by a climb to at least 500 ft AGL.
As a result of the progressive retirement of fixed-base navigation aids, there have been changes to the aeroplane’s required instrument fitment for IFR as reflected by the amended AIP GEN.
This download will replace the previous extract and will be incorporated in the next edition of the IR book and will become figs 8-2,3 & 4.
Please also refer to the AIP.
UPDATE: CASR PART 61 DATE: 27/01/2015

UPDATE: CASR PART 61 DATE: 07/10/2014
With the Manual of Standards (MOS) that has been issued subsequent to the Part 61 licensing changes, the syllabus now requires some knowledge of GNSS as part of the AGK subject. This is a free download of our GNSS chapter.
