A Question For PNG Aviators
I am trying to work out what is the proper publication to use for flying in PNG. I have an older copy of the PNG AIP which looks like Australia's old style AIP with RAC/OPS etc, or do you now use the CASR's?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Not exactly sure what 'publication' you are chasing, but yes, the CASRs are the new regulations. The system is almost a clone of the New Zealand regulatory framework. For operational documents there is a somewhat recently revised two volume AIP. One volume is the 'AGA' (think ERSA) the other volume has the multiple GEN, COM, MET, RAC et al sections. Then if you are lucky you might be able to get hold of the most recent charts which will have varying issue dates - most were last issued in the 80's! If you are very lucky you might even be able to source the ONC (WAC charts) from some place - last time I had to go to the government mapping dept in Waigani and even they didn't have them all in stock. Once they run out I don't know what will happen!

I've tried the Office of Civil Aviation website looking for the AIP, http://www.oca.gov.pg/ and that ain't working

Ricky,
Yes it is a multiple choice exam (closed-book - no access to the regs allowed in the exam) based on the CASR's on the web. If you take a closer look at the stuff on the web you will find a downloadable 'study guide' PDF file for either the CPL or ATPL air law exam

As well as CAR, the exam can contain questions taken from, the ACT, AIP AGA and old AIP Radar section. Also has at least one question from the approach plates, usually a minimum height at a specified point (fairly straight forward).

Mate, I didn't have a PNG AIP book in front of me when I was studying for the ATPL air law and instrument air law and I still managed to pass both first go so I think you should be right so long as you study hard (remember it is closed book!). If you know your way around Australian IAL charts you shouldn't have a problem with the example copy you will get in the exam - just don't worry too much if the revision date looks a bit old....!
