<p>Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority&nbsp;(CASA) has proposed a solution to the lack of specific aircraft class ratings for&nbsp;single-pilot, less complex multi-engine helicopters.&nbsp;The current approach to prescribe a type rating for each multi-engine helicopter is a key reason for the limited availability of suitably qualified flight instructors, flight examiners, and operators to conduct training and assessments for some multi-engine helicopters.&nbsp;“This has led to increased costs and time to access training and assessment,&nbsp;and impacts on the availability of suitably qualified pilots.”&nbsp;The problem is exacerbated by the very small number of these types of helicopters in Australia.&nbsp;To alleviate the problem, CASA has proposed a temporary exemption to establish a multi-engine helicopter class rating until the flight crew licensing rules are formally amended. The exemption is scheduled to be in place by&nbsp;the&nbsp;end of July 2022. Comments on the proposed exemption are due July 4, 2022.</p>
