Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority revise the content of the pilot Day VFR
Syllabi to include contemporary aviation medical knowledge
regarding the effects of alcohol and illicit drugs use on human
performance, and disseminate that information to qualified pilots
via a comprehensive education program.
The Day VFR (Aeroplane) Syllabus and the Day VFR (Helicopter)
Syllabus have been enhanced to include contemporary aviation
medical knowledge regarding the effects of alcohol and illicit
drugs use on human performance.
The additional information, which is included in all new syllabi,
can be purchased by industry personnel or can be accessed on the
Authority's website. Please note however that the helicopter
syllabus will be posted on the CASA website once the document has
been reformatted and proof read.
The syllabi can be found at
