SOUTH AFRICAN CIVIL AVIATION TECHNICAL


STANDARDS RELATING TO CABIN
CREW LICENSING

1. GENERAL

Section 22A of the Aviation Act, 1962 (as


amended by section 5 of the Aviation Laws
Amendment Act, 1996) empowers the
Commissioner for Civil Aviation to issue technical
standards for civil aviation on the matters which
are prescribed by regulation.

2. PURPOSE

Document SA-CATS-FCL 64 contains the


standards, rules, requirements, methods,
specifications, characteristics and procedures
which are applicable in respect of cabin crew
licensing.

Each reference to a technical standard in this


document, is a reference to the corresponding
regulation in the Civil Aviation Regulations, 1997,
for example, technical standard 64.02.16 refers to
regulation 16 of Subpart 02 of Part 64 of the
Regulations.

The abbreviation “CAR” is used throughout this


document when referring to any regulation.

The abbreviation “TS” refers to any technical


standard.

3. SCHEDULES AND NOTES

Guidelines and recommendations in support of


any particular technical standard, are contained
in schedules to, and/or notes inserted throughout
the technical standards.
