The Australian ATSB has released recommendations to CASA as part of the investigation into the Lockhart River fatal Swearingen Metro accident on 7 May 2005. ATSB recommendations have been issued to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to review current legislation and regulations: to seek to ensure that in an aircraft requiring a flight crew of two, both crewmembers are appropriately qualified to carry out an instrument approach; and to provide a mechanism for the phased introduction of autopilot equipment to all aircraft on the Australian civil aircraft register engaged on scheduled air transport operations.
