BACKGROUND

The Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act 1997 (TTMRA) is an agreement made

between the governments of New Zealand and Australia which provides for the recognition
of each others occupations, products and services.

TTMRA allows for the mutual recognition of civil aviation professional qualifications by
CASA and the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority.

PURPOSE OF THIS PACKAGE

This document explains how a person holding a New Zealand flight crew qualification may
be issued the equivalent Australian qualification under TTMRA.

Australian flight crew licence holders who seek similar recognition in New Zealand should
contact the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY

An Overview of the Registration Process

A person holding a New Zealand Commercial Pilot Licence or Airline Transport Pilot
Licence is entitled, under TTMRA, to use their licence in Australia operating Australian
aircraft once they have completed the registration process.

The registration process is only complete when a fully complete and correct application is
submitted to CASA and the documentation satisfies the registration requirements.

Applications should be submitted to

CLARC, CASA
GPO Box 2005
CANBERRA ACT 2601
AUSTRALIA.

Registration is a precursor to the process for having the equivalent Australian

qualifications issued.

Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant, registration will not have occurred
and the pilot would not be entitled to use their New Zealand licence in Australia.

3
Important note about background security checks.

An Australian flight crew licence may be issued under the TTMRA without a security check
being completed. However, the holder of that licence will only be able to use the
Australian licence once a security check application has been received by CASA. If the
licence holder needs to access a security controlled airport, they will have to hold a current
ASIC. A person who obtains a flight crew licence under the TTMRA and subsequently
fails the security check may have their licence suspended or cancelled. More information
on security checks can be found on CASA’s website.

An application for a licence under the TTMRA must include a Commonwealth of

Australia Statutory Declaration form (SD form), which must be signed by an appropriate
person – see below.

The Statutory Declarations Regulations 1993 provides a list of persons (on the back of a
Statutory Declaration form) before whom a declaration can be made. The persons listed
are persons holding Australian qualifications or occupations. For example, a reference to
a legal practitioner is a reference to a legal practitioner registered as such in Australia.
Therefore, a person making a statutory declaration in New Zealand must make it before a
Commonwealth of Australia officer or Australian Consular Officer if they cannot find a
person otherwise listed (on the back of the form) who has an Australian occupation or
status.

Duration of Registration

CASA has one month from the date the registration application is received by CASA.
Should CASA decide to postpone or refuse to grant full registration, it must do so within
that month and in writing.

Australian licences issued under the TTMRA remain valid unless one or more of the
following events occur:

1. If the person's New Zealand licence:

(a) is cancelled or suspended; or
(b) is subject to a condition on disciplinary grounds, or as a result of or in
anticipation of criminal, civil or disciplinary proceedings,
then the person's Australian licence is affected in the same way.

2. However, CASA may reinstate any cancelled or suspended licence or waive

any such condition if it thinks is appropriate in the circumstances.

(NB. If a licence is automatically suspended or cancelled due to the above-mentioned

reasons, by virtue of the TTMRA, it is not reviewable by the AAT.)

3. The licence is cancelled at the holder’s request; or

4. CASA suspends or cancels the Australian licence under Australian law.

Right of Review

If CASA gives a written notice refusing registration, limiting registration, suspending or

cancelling a licence issued under the TTMRA, a New Zealand licence holder may refer the
matter to the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for a review of the decision.

4
Details of the AAT system are set out in the Administrative Appeals Act 1975. The
addresses and telephone numbers of regional AAT hearing centres may be found in local
telephone directories or at their website http://www.aat.gov.au.

The AAT may order a party in proceedings before it to pay costs if the party has acted
unreasonably. The application fee for a review of a decision by the AAT is $682 (as at 1st
August 2008) but is subject to change. The current fee can be seen here any time: AAT
fee

How do the new language proficiency standards affect TTMRA applicants

CASA implemented the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO's) language

proficiency standards on 5 March 2008 for all licence holders.

CASA recognises language proficiency assessments in the same way that other flight
crew qualifications are recognised as long as the issuing State is fully compliant with ICAO
standards.

An ICAO compliant language assessment included on your New Zealand licence would be
recognised by CASA and entered on your Australian equivalent licence.

You will need to have been assessed to at least a level four English language proficiency
to be issued a licence under TTMRA. More information on how to obtain an English
language proficiency assessment in Australia can be found on CASA’s website.

Applications received by CASA from applicants who have not completed a language
proficiency assessment and have not satisfied at least level 4 proficiency cannot be
processed and will be returned to the applicant.

What qualifications are recognised under the TTMRA

Professional flight crew licences (ie. commercial pilot, air transport pilot and flight engineer
licences), including the ratings and endorsements on those licences are recognised under
the TTMRA.

Private Pilot Licences (PPL) are not recognised under the TTMRA.

Operational Approvals

Approvals for aviation activities such as glider towing, formation, aerobatics are not
deemed to be professional qualifications and therefore cannot be considered under the
TTMRA.

CAA NZ Examinations

Theory examination credits obtained in New Zealand without the equivalent flight crew
qualification being issued are not transferable under any circumstances (ie. NZ exam
credits are not recognised in isolation). That means, person who has a New Zealand PPL
and the CPL examination credits would not be entitled to registration.

Instrument and Flight Instructor Ratings

Current instrument ratings and flight instructor ratings (except for Cat D & E ratings) may
be automatically transferred and the equivalent Australian ratings issued.

5
Once registered, to continue exercising the rating privileges in Australia, you must
maintain a current Australian rating. Renewing your New Zealand rating does not renew
your Australian rating and once you have been issued a rating under the TTMRA, you are
not eligible to be issued a renewal of that rating on the basis of a renewed New Zealand
rating.

Night VFR Ratings

The Australian Night VFR rating requires the holder to have been tested as competent to
navigate visually at night and by reference to radio navigation aids. Night privileges on a
NZ CPL are not equivalent to the NVFR rating.

CPL holders with night privileges will be issued with a NVFR rating limited to operations in
the circuit area.

Pilots wishing to extend these privileges will have to meet all the requirements (including a
flight test) for the issue of a NVFR rating as specified in CAO 40.2.2 – Appendix 1,
paragraph 1

Agricultural Ratings

Current agricultural ratings may be accepted under TTMRA and the equivalent grade of
Australian issued. The holder of a Grade 2 rating may be awarded an Australian Grade 2
rating if he or she also holds a NZ CPL.

For operations other than top dressing, the applicant must also obtain a Chemical rating
issued by the Department of Agriculture or the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) in
the Australian States or Territory in which they intend to operate.

Aircraft Type Ratings (Aircraft Endorsements)

Under the terms of the TTMRA, aircraft type ratings (called ‘endorsements’ in Australia)
may be transferred provided the equivalent aircraft endorsement exists within the CAO
40.1.0 and CAO 40.3.0

Prerequisites for Registration

Qualifications presented for recognition under TTMRA must be current at the time of
application (eg. within the last 12 months prior to application for instructor and instrument
ratings). A full certified copy of the renewal flight test stamped in the pilot’s logbook
showing date of test, navaids tested, s/e, m/e, or C Cat, B Cat FIRs, etc, etc.) must be
presented when requesting an equivalent issue.

Aeronautical Experience

Applicants are not required to satisfy any Australian aeronautical experience requirements
if applying for an Australian licence and/or rating under the TTMRA.

Medical Certificate

Pursuant to CAR 5.04 you may use a current Class 1 CAANZ medical certificate to
validate an Australian professional pilot's licence until the certificate expires. The use of
your CAANZ aviation medical certificate in this way is restricted to Australian airspace
only. Your CAANZ medical certificate must be carried with your Australian pilot's licence
whenever exercising the privileges of that licence.
6
All conditions imposed upon your CAANZ medical certificate must be observed whilst
using the Australian pilot's licence. Where these are contained in a letter issued by
CAANZ, that letter must also be carried with you when you exercise the privileges of your
Australian pilot's licence.

Note you may only use the CAANZ medical certificate you held when you obtained
your Australian licence under the TTMRA until it expires. After that, you must
obtain an Australian medical certificate if you want to keep flying using your
Australian licence.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ONCE YOUR LICENCE IS ISSUED

Your Responsibilities

Once the registration process has been successfully completed, you may only exercise the
privileges of your qualifications according to Australian aviation rules and regulations. New
Zealand rules do not apply to any flying activity in Australian registered aircraft.

Due to the differences in flying conditions between Australia and New Zealand, it is
therefore strongly recommended that you obtain a comprehensive briefing on local
Australian procedures before commencing flying activities, and that you familiarise yourself
with the licence/rating privileges within the Australian regulatory framework. When
exercising the privileges of your flight crew licence in Australian registered aircraft, you
should always quote your Australian aviation reference number or ARN (ie. the six digit
number that also forms your licence number).

Flight Reviews and Recency

To exercise the privileges of your Australian flight crew licence, you must complete a flight
review every two years for that category of aircraft (ie. aeroplane, helicopter etc.) with an
appropriate person.

Once registered, to continue flying in Australia, you must maintain a current Australian
flight review.

Recency requirements also apply to passenger carrying privileges and to the use of flight
crew ratings.

7
HOW TO APPLY

Use the conversion chart at the back of this package (‘New Zealand/Australian Flight Crew
Licence Conversion Chart’) to determine which CASA qualifications you would be eligible
for based on your current New Zealand qualifications.

Complete the application form (TTMRA Application Form) and attach certified true copies
of your New Zealand licence, medical certificate and any other qualifications you hold and
want to have recognised.

Please only send relevant documents and do not send copies of pages from your logbooks
which are not relevant to the issue of a CASA licence. Only those pages (in the logbook)
that reflect your last renewal for a particular NZ rating and/or aircraft endorsement in the
'Type Rating Certificate' page should be copied, and included with the statutory declaration
and application form.

Photocopy BOTH sides (front & back) of the NZ licence and medical certificate – make
sure the copy is clear and legible.

You will note that the registration process requires you to give consent for CASA to seek
additional information, if necessary, relating to your NZ qualifications, from the CAANZ.
This access will be under strict and secure conditions controlled by the CAANZ and will
meet all of the requirements of the Australian Privacy Act.

Attach an Australian Commonwealth Statutory Declaration Form (a statutory declaration

form is provided here: Stat Dec form

As the TTMRA represents Commonwealth law, Commonwealth statutory declaration forms

must be used. State or territory statutory declaration forms will not be accepted.
Commonwealth forms may be available at Australian newsagents, Australia Post Offices,
police stations in Australia, or Australian consulates or embassies outside of Australia.
Otherwise Statutory Declaration (SD) forms maybe accessed from the internet provided
above.

Note. If outside Australia, do not travel to or visit an Australian High Commission

or Consulate-General office unless you have the required SD form filled out as per
the sample attachment. Diplomatic staff will not sign SD forms unless all of the form
is correctly filled in. Do not ask the same staff to offer you guidance and/or advice
as to how to fill in a SD form, or any other TTMRA form as this is not their role (their
function is to simply sight the original document/s in order to certify copies and
sign the SD form only). If you have a TTMRA query, you may contact CASA at:
clarc@casa.gov.au

These agencies may incur a charge for the above service (please check with them
for details)

Persons who can certify documents within Australia are listed on the reverse side of the
statutory declaration form. Within New Zealand, only those people who are registered and
8
licensed to practice their profession (or trade) in Australia can sign a SD form. Australian
Defence Officers on exchange with the NZ Armed Forces are able to sign SD forms.
Alternatively, appropriate staff at the Australian Consulate-General or Australian High
Commission offices are approved and authorised to notarise documents. Enquiries can be
directed to:
