Responsibility When Using Third-Party Exposition Writers

Verified from official sources
Version 1Effective -Verified 25 August 2026

In plain language

Even if you hire someone else to write your operational manual (exposition), you are still responsible for knowing and understanding everything written in it.

Requirement as structured

The CAA states that operators who use third-party exposition writers must still fully understand the contents of their exposition, their operational risks, and how they are managed.

Original regulatory text

If using an exposition writer, the operator still needs to fully understand the contents of their exposition, the scope of their operations, the risks their operations may pose and how those risks will be managed. Using a third party does not absolve the operator of their responsibilities.
