Special flight permits (SFP.01) - protocol suite

The special flight permits protocol suite provides a structure for how CASA makes decisions in relation to special flight permits. It consists of the following documents:

• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Protocol
• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Principle
• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Worksheet A
• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Worksheet B

• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Worksheet F
• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Worksheet G
• Special Flight Permits (SFP.01) - Worksheet H

The protocol document provides a summary of the policies, concept and philosophy that sits behind the document suite. It identifies approved supplementary documents that are applicable.

The principle document provides technical guidance guidance to a CASA inspector. This helps them make an informed decision on the suitability of an application. It also ensures we are being consistent and using a standard approach. The question in the principle document relates to a question in the worksheet.

We use the worksheets as a record of the assessment and the decision we make. Each worksheet question relates to a regulatory requirement.

Depending on the nature of the application, you need the following form:
