FAA and #casa use of the AC [Advisory Circular] process
Question is: Do Advisory Circulars improve knowledge or are these documents being used by #casa to “bash GA” as another tool for this purpose.
The easy comparison is the indexing system used by the #FAA, which starts at the Parts [see below, after you scroll through the #casa example], then directs [as a good index system should] to the relevant AC’s.
In the #casa system, all the AC’s are listed [you can do a search] together with no reference to the Parts at all [see below]. This is, again despite Australia moving towards this system!!
A slow and laborious process.
Let’s use an example – ADSB
Both #casa and #FAA have a single entry.
#FAA – ADSB – AC_90-114A_
#casa ADSB AC-021c45
The #casa version comes in at 33 pages and it’s references [current version – June 2015] lists a cancelled #FAA AC 90-114, with no indication of the replacement [90-114A – Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Operations with Change 1 Date Issued October 28, 2014]
The #FAA AC, is at 47 pages, but which show how the system works, rather than what #casa provides which is a separate micro-management version.
Let’s use a simple comparison of the US-FAA Ac for:
and the #casa AC for a similar purpose.
Definitions first:
A full list of the #casa current AC’s are below:
