RPL Complete Kit — Full Airservices Permitted Materials List

Everything CASA lets you take into the RPLA exam. In one box.

Booking your RPL exam means working out which documents you're allowed to bring, tracking down current editions of each one, and hoping you haven't missed something. This kit is the complete Airservices permitted materials list — no cross-referencing, no discovering a gap on exam morning.

We've also included something you won't get anywhere else: a plain-English guide to actually using the legislation, written for people opening these documents for the first time.

Important: CASA permits either the Airservices list or the Jeppesen list — you cannot mix materials from both. This kit is the Airservices list. If you already own Jeppesen charts or documents, don't combine them with these.

The legislation

CAR 1988 — Still in force alongside the newer CASR parts. Several requirements you'll be examined on live here.

CASR Part 61 — Flight Crew Licensing — Your licence, your privileges, your limitations. The source for every recency and passenger-carrying question.

CASR Part 61 Plain English Guide — CASA's readable translation. Use it to orient yourself, then go to the regulation for the wording that counts.

CASR Part 91 — General Operating and Flight Rules — The rules that apply to every flight you make.

CASR Part 91 Manual of Standards — Where the actual figures sit. Part 91 states the rule; the MOS gives you the number. Your exam fuel reserve questions come from here.

CASR Part 91 Plain English Guide — The readable companion to Part 91.

Operational documents

AIP Book — Airspace, procedures, radio, emergencies. Australia's core operational reference.

ERSA — Aerodrome by aerodrome: runways, frequencies, circuit directions, lighting, hazards.

Planning Chart Australia (PCA) — Route and airspace planning at a national scale.

Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG) — The single best plain-language summary of VFR operations in Australia.

Navigation tools

Flight Computer — Wind, fuel, time, distance and conversions. Permitted in the exam and used in the cockpit.

180nm Scale Rule — Distance measurement at standard chart scales.

Protractor — Track angles on the chart.

The Aero Essentials Legislation Guide (exclusive)

The document that makes the rest of the kit usable.

Being handed a copy of Part 91 and told the answer's in there is where most students stall. Our guide shows you how the system fits together — which document answers which kind of question, how a regulation points you to a Manual of Standards, why a Plain English Guide isn't the legal text, and how to trace a question from "I'm not sure" to the exact clause.

Worked examples cover the questions students actually ask: Can I fly today in this weather? Can I carry a passenger? What do I check before flying into an unfamiliar aerodrome? When is my flight review due?

It also covers CASA's marking rules — what you're allowed to highlight, and what will get your materials rejected at the door.

Study aid only. The Legislation Guide is not on the permitted materials list and cannot be taken into the exam room. Neither can index pages, contents pages or page tabs, whether home-made or commercially printed.

Good to know

• Bring your own calculator. A basic four-function calculator is permitted; scientific and programmable models are not. (Sold separately.)
• The invigilator supplies your workbook, pen, pencil, ruler, eraser and scratch paper — you don't need to bring these.
• Check your editions. All documents supplied are current at time of dispatch. AIP, ERSA and the PCA are updated on cycle — confirm currency before your exam date.
• A note on the guides. CASA advises the VFRG and Plain English Guides may not reflect the latest changes. Always confirm against the regulation itself.
