CAASA CEO Kevin Storie joins host Ruben Delmag'e in Just Wing It to discuss an important milestone for the South African aviation industry.

Part 43 has officially been approved by CARCom for recommendation to the Minister for promulgation, representing a significant step forward in the ongoing regulatory process.

During the discussion, Kevin unpacks what this means for pilots, aircraft owners, AMOs, engineers, and operators across South Africa, while also outlining the next steps before the regulation is formally implemented.

The conversation highlights the collaborative efforts between industry stakeholders and regulators, the importance of industry participation in shaping practical aviation regulations, and the broader impact these changes are expected to have on general aviation and the aviation sector as a whole.

As the recognised voice of commercial aviation in Southern Africa, the Commercial Aviation Association of Southern Africa remains committed to supporting a sustainable, safe, and progressive aviation industry through active engagement and advocacy.

If you are involved in aviation or want to stay informed on key developments shaping the future of the industry, this is a conversation not to miss.
