Wait, what is Part 106 and how does it affect SAHPA members?
Part 106 is a welcome and long-overdue regulatory change initiated by SAHPA, which aims to move PG & HG technical regulations (CAR) and technical standards (CATS) from Part 62 (which is designed for general recreational aviation) to the dedicated Part 106, bringing it in line with international norms. SAHPA members are encouraged to read about the SAHPA Part 106 initiative by reading through the archives on the SAHPA website:
- Part 106 Survey Results
- Part 106 SAHPA Member Participation Process
- Part 106 Submission to CARCom
Faithfully,
SAHPA Committee
