Advisory Circulars and Factsheets are sources of support material intended to promote understanding of, and compliance with, the DASR. All support material is authoritative information issued by DASA that does not mandate any action but which may address regulatory requirements and provisions established elsewhere. Other sources of support material include:
DASR Acceptable Means of Compliance
DASR Guidance Material
Defence Aviation Safety Program Manual Volume 3 DASP Guidance.
Advisory Circulars are typically issued to deliberately bring an issue to the attention of the target audience or to address a complex topic. ACs may be used to identify acceptable ways to achieve regulatory compliance, either as a temporary transition arrangement or in advance of promulgation as DASR Acceptable Means of Compliance.
Factsheets are typically issued to provide concise information that may assist those interested in a particular topic.
Current ACs that do not have a hyperlink are only available on the Defence Intranet. To access, please visit the DASA Intranet page and select the ‘Advisory Circulars (restricted)’ menu item under the ‘Policy and Guidance’ tab.
