Although detectors were not required to be fitted to their aircraft, Sydney Seaplanes had no mechanism for monitoring the serviceability of the carbon monoxide detectors.
The ATSB is satisfied that the inclusion of a monthly check addresses the safety issue risk with regard to monitoring the serviceability of the carbon monoxide detectors fitted to Sydney Seaplanes aircraft.
On 6 August 2020, Sydney Seaplanes advised the ATSB that they have incorporated a serviceability check of the carbon monoxide detectors fitted to their aircraft into their monthly emergency equipment checklist.
