Please note: This report was updated on 14 July 2023 to include links to the draft amendments, which were eventually found under ‘Legislation, Legal Notices,’Proposed Amendments to Regulations & Technical Standards’.  

According to a backdated notice gazetted on 8 July 2023, the Department of Transport and the South African Civil Aviation Authority are calling for public comments by 5 August 2023 on proposals for amending three sets of regulations and certain technical standards.

They have implications for:

  • appeals committee rules and procedures (draft amendments)
  • air cargo security (draft amendments)
  • aviation security for non-scheduled commercial aircraft operations (draft amendments), and
  • technical standards for medical certification (draft amendments).

An automated response to an email request for assistance refers to a waiting period of up to three business days. There was no response from the official whose email address is provided in the Government Gazette notice.
