The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires that:

a) as a passenger in the aircraft to be used for Community Flights Ltd (CFL) fundraising purposes, you are given this statement at least 24 hours before the flight; and

b) I, as the pilot in command of the aircraft, collect it and the signed acknowledgement from you before the flight commences.

This flight is a specific fundraising flight on behalf of CFL.

It is conducted under the requirements and conditions of an exemption instrument granted by CASA.

The exemption instrument is available to view on the CASA website (CASA EX49/25  – Community Flights – Charitable Fundraising – Exemption and Directions Instrument 2025, at <CASA.gov.au>).

In granting the exemption, CASA:

a) regarded as paramount the preservation of a level of aviation safety that is at least acceptable; and

b) has imposed conditions that are necessary in the interests of the safety of air navigation.

As such, the flight is not governed by the same level of oversight, and is not subject to the same safety standards, that would be in place for a commercial passenger-carrying operation.

Although the flight is subject to a range of safety conditions, the flight is, therefore, associated with a lower level of oversight, and a higher level of safety risk, than would be the case for a commercial passenger-carrying operation.
