The Authority needs to create a Civil Aviation Registry. This registry will keep records of important aviation information. Here’s what you’ll find in the registry:

  1. Current aviation documents
  2. Australian AOCs with ANZA privileges
  3. The New Zealand Register of Aircraft
  4. Aviation rules and regulations
  5. Information used in the rules
  6. Reports of accidents and incidents
  7. Airworthiness instructions from the Director
  8. Written permissions and exemptions
  9. Contact details for people who have or want aviation documents
  10. Published aviation information
  11. The current service charter
  12. The Authority’s plans for the future

You can look at these documents for free. The Authority will show them to you following the Official Information Act 1982. However, they must also follow the Privacy Act 2020 when sharing information.
