What are CAAP’s becoming?
Civil Aviation Advisory Publications (CAAP’s) are becoming AC (Advisory Circular)
- Circulated to operators to help them comply with law, advice on developing procedures
What are AIP’s?
Aeronautical Information Publication
- Transfered into most of the CASR’s, remains published but holds no real law
