Civil Aviation Safety Authority

We’ve launched a new aviation safety initiative to help travellers understand what they can and can’t pack in their luggage. With more passengers carrying lithium batteries, power banks, vapes, and other dangerous goods, this initiative aims to reduce in-flight safety risks and prevent travel disruptions. What’s new? 🧳 A ‘Pack Right. Safe Flight.’ communication suite for passengers, airlines and airports. 🧳 A dedicated website with a modernised dangerous goods search tool so you check packing instructions for individual items. 🧳 Clear, instructional information that strengthens passenger awareness and compliance – ensuring information is simple, engaging, and free from unnecessary fear or anxiety. Don’t risk delays at check-in or security – pack right! Learn more at: www.casa.gov.au/packright #PackRightSafeFlight

This month, we’re switching our focus to controlled aerodromes and operations 🛬🚁   Visit the pilot safety hub for new resources including: ✅ a Crash comic featuring a radio malfunction and a near miss ✅ an audio close call where a pilot calls on ATC for help ✅ quizzes for fixed-wing and rotary pilots, and more!   https://lnkd.in/gxznnicp
