The purpose of this rule-making proposal is to improve safety at all New Zealand aerodromes through the expansion of certification and operational requirements.

These requirements also extend to unpublished aerodromes if deemed necessary in the interest of safety;
• provision of Air Traffic Services (ATS) consistent with CAA Policy;
• additional measures for the protection of Air Traffic Services (ATS);
• requirements for maintaining good runway surface friction characteristics and standardised real-time runway surface condition reporting;
• introduction of a new aerodrome rescue fire fighting category and a requirement for an expanded rescue fire fighting communication and alerting system;
• relocation of minimum standards contained in Advisory Circulars into the Rule; and
• updated International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and international best practice.
