CASA
Aeronautical Studies
Avlaw Aviation Consulting provided specialist support to CASA to assist the Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) with a review of the existing airspace at multiple Australian aerodromes across the country. The project was phased over three stages, with Geraldton, Pilbara, Mt Isa, Emerald, Devonport, Fortescue Dave Forrest, Ballina-Byron and the Pilbara included encapsulating the scope of the review which formed an important part of the OAR’s ongoing management of airspace.
QLD Government
Aviation Operations Specification Development
The Queensland Government, as part of its review of their air safety requirements used for engaging air charter services, issued a specialist tender. In a highly competitive field, Avlaw Aviation Consulting was retained as the consultant to examine and make safety standard recommendations for the Queensland Government to use when engaging air charter operators. Avlaw Aviation Consulting participated and facilitated a fact-finding workshop with all key government stakeholders to assess the diverse and specialist nature of its air services requirements. On the basis of information gained and ongoing consultation with the various government departments and agencies utilising these services, under very tight time constraints, Avlaw Aviation Consulting was able to develop a detailed Aviation Operations Specification (AOS), which was used as the basis for subsequent government air services tenders to ensure the requisite safety and compliance standards were met and to provide a high level of consistency of standards across all government agencies that contracted air services operators.
Austrade
Benchmarking the Facilitation of Passengers at Australian International Airports

DoD
Department of Defence
As part of a major review of the Commonwealth Government’s airworthiness and engineering requirements for its fleet of state aircraft, a tender was issued for a specialist aviation consultancy firm. This highly competitive long-term contract was awarded to Avlaw Aviation Consulting primarily on the basis of Avlaw Aviation Consulting having demonstrated extensive experience and familiarity in dealing with airworthiness and engineering regulations of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Federal Aviation Administration and CASA’s new regulations. The first (four month) phase of the project involved a detailed analysis, assessment and gap analysis across all three regulatory regimes (CASA/EASA/FAA) of Part 145 Maintenance Organisations and Part 42 Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisations (CAMO). The final phase of the project required a detailed qualitative technical assessment of the respective advantages and disadvantages of each set of regulation and recommendations as to the adoption of which rule set provided the safest and most cost effective solution.
