What documents must typically be carried on board a civilian flight in Australia to comply with CASA requirements?

• A. Pilot license and medical certificate, aircraft registration and airworthiness documents, and any applicable MEL or weight/balance data.
• B. Passport, crew manifest, company insurance.
• C. Only pilot license.
• D. Radio license and CV.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a civilian flight in Australia must have the essential flight documents on board: the pilot’s licence and medical certificate to prove qualification and fitness to fly; the aircraft’s registration and airworthiness documents to show the aircraft is legally registered and in a certified, airworthy condition; and any applicable MEL (minimum equipment list) or weight and balance data to confirm you’re operating within approved limits and with the correct loading. These documents are what CASA expects to be available for inspection and to support safe operation.

Passport, crew manifest, and company insurance aren’t typically required to be on board for domestic Australian flights. A radio licence and CV aren’t standard onboard documents for normal flight operations.
