Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has published a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.casa.gov.au/aircraft/publication/cabin-safety-bulletin-12-general-aviation-passenger-briefings" target="_blank">bulletin</a>&nbsp;aimed at all private and air-taxi registered aircraft that conduct passenger-carrying operations without a cabin crew. The authority said the notice provides “guidance on how to conduct a briefing to increase passenger situational awareness and enhance any response to an emergency or abnormal event.”

 


Regulations require that before takeoff, the flight deck or cabin crew ensure passengers are made familiar with the location of emergency exits, operation of seat belts, harnesses and doors, and use of safety equipment.&nbsp;The rules also call for the stowage and security of loose articles, and the need for aisles, passageways,&nbsp;and exits to be clear of obstructions.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 


The bulletin is divided into three sections—airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons—with each section containing&nbsp;briefing items unique to the type of aircraft There is also&nbsp;an attachment to the bulletin that can be printed out, laminated, and used to conduct pre-flight passenger briefings.

News about bills, laws, regulations and other governmental decisions affecting aviation and aerospace. Topics include FAA re-authorizations, taxes on fuel and aviation activities, environmental legislation, ICAO decisions, governmental mediation of labor conflicts and World Trade Organization disputes and decisions.
