Part 115 Compliance Matrix – Requirements for Hang Glider and Paraglider Operations

The Rule References in this compliance matrix have been extracted from the Civil Aviation Rules system as the minimum compliance requirements for an applicant for the issue or renewal of a Part 115 Adventure Aviation Operator Certificate conducting hang glider and paraglider .

This matrix is part of a series of matrices applicable to Part 115 Adventure Aviation Operator requirements and should be completed in conjunction with the main Part 115 rule compliance matrix 24115/02.

A completed set of compliance matrices must be submitted by the applicant for both initial certification and for renewal. Additionally, the certificate holder should maintain an up-to-date compliance matrix to assist with on-going compliance and to support certificate amendment requests.

The purpose of the matrix is to speed up the certification process, ensure every applicable rule requirement has been addressed in the exposition and reduce the cost of certification by the quick location of required policies or procedures in the applicant’s exposition manual suite.
