Pending and Draft Final Rules
Pending rules have been signed by the Minister for Transport Safety and will come into force on the prescribed date. Draft final rules are published to keep the aviation community and other interested parties informed of the proposed rule amendments that have been developed through the CAA rule development process. The Draft Final Rules are reviewed by the Ministry of Transport before being referred to the Minister for Transport Safety for his consideration and signature. Although editorial changes may be made to the Draft Final Rule proposals prior to being signed by the Minister, the technical requirements are unlikely to change.
