Airworthiness Notices Considered Mandatory in Fiji

CAAF considers all pink Airworthiness Notices to be mandatory in Fiji. In the case where a pink notice is perceived to have no direct Airworthiness relevance and/or benefits to a particular aircraft or situation, CAAF will re-evaluate the contents of the Airworthiness Notice and provide guidance and direction on how the Notice is to be applied or implemented.

Other Airworthiness Notices Applicable in Fiji

The Airworthiness Notices printed on yellow or white paper covering administrative and/or technical procedures and general information/administrative matters respectively, are adopted due to the benefits they offer to the ANR 145C Approved Maintenance Organisations.

Assessment of the Airworthiness Notices to determine relevancy is the responsibility of each ANR 145C Organisation. However CAAF, may from time to time advise individual organisations to consider implementing a particular notice to assist the organisation in addressing a particular safety case.

Reference To The UK, CAA, UK and ANO in Airworthiness Notices

All ANR 145C Approved Maintenance Organisations should use their proper judgement when reading references to the UK CAA, UK and the ANO to the Fijian equivalents. If there is anything in the notices that is not understood then CAAF should be consulted for further clarification.

Airworthiness Notices Incorporated In the Fiji Standard Documents

Additionally with the promulgation of Standard Document – Airworthiness of Aircraft, Standard Document – Personnel Licensing and Standard Document – Approval of Aircraft Maintenance Organisation certain, Airworthiness Notices have been directly incorporated into the respective Standard Documents.

Whenever the notices that have been incorporated into the Standard Documents are amended by the UK CAA, CAAF will amend the corresponding Standard Document sections as appropriate.
