CASA is currently undertaking a future aviation horizon scanning activity to identify key technological and other developments that are expected to have significant impacts on Australia’s civil aviation operations over the coming 3-10 years.  The scanning activity will inform CASA’s strategic regulatory planning to position CASA to provide timely regulatory support to Australian industry and the community. This work is being undertaken by a new ‘Future Strategies Taskforce’ in CASA.

The principal inputs are expected to be finalised prior to 31 May 2022.
