Simulator Certifications

Thinking of acquiring a new Flight Training Device? The regulations around Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) are complex.

Understanding the Regulations

The regulations are complex. Our team includes CASA compliance experts who helped draft many of the aviation and space regulations. Our CEO Dr Tony Stanton is the former Senior Manager of CASA Flight Standards Branch, we therefore have the inside knowledge on the policy, the intent and the correct interpretation of the standards. Let us help you know what the regulation actually requires.

CASA Aviation Compliance Auditing - Preparation & Findings Management

Audit results matter. They are your reputation - they affect contracts and the value of your business.

Have you received a CASA surveillance notification letter? Let Strategic Air prepare your organisation for the best audit results through expert aviation compliance auditing. We can prepare you for the audit, attend the audit itself as your representative, and help you to manage and acquit any findings.

Practical drift and normalised deviance are real. Organisations unknowingly deviate from where they believe they are operating. We recommend annual compliance reviews to keep your organisation safe and compliant.

Space Objects and Rocket Launch Area Approvals

Our CEO, Dr Tony Stanton was appointed by the Australian Space Agency (ASA) to the Australian Government Space Co-ordination Committee (SCC).  The SCC is the national forum for coordinating the Australian Government’s activities and priorities in all civil space activities.  

For over six years, Tony was the Australian Government (CASA) delegate for granting Area Approvals for the launch of all high-powered rockets and space objects within Australian Territory. These CASA Area Approvals are a critical part of aviation regulatory compliance, managing the risk of accidents within Australian airspace from the launch site up to 100 km above the Earth.

Strategic Air can support you with CASR Part 101 Area Approval Applications and the management of airspace for space launches.
