What is a Temporary Aircrew Card? • A Temporary Aircrew Card (TAC) is an identification card that may be used instead of a Visitor Identification Card (VIC) by employees of airlines . • Unlike a VIC, a TAC may be used at multiple airports. • A TAC will allow airline employees who have forgotten their ASIC or have not yet been issued their ASIC to continue to work.
Who can issue a TAC? • Only airlines that conduct regular public transport operations may issue TACs if they have been approved to do so by OTS.
Who can be issued with a TAC? • To be issued a TAC a person must be: • an ASIC applicant or an ASIC holder who has forgotten their ASIC; • an employee of an airline approved to issue TACs; • travelling on a passenger aircraft; and • require access to more than one airport for work e.g. pilots/aircrew.
What are the conditions for a TAC? • The holder of a TAC must be supervised by an ASIC holder at all times whenever they are in a secure area. • A TAC may be valid for a maximum of seven days. • If a TAC is issued for longer than 72 hours it must display an expiry date along with the name and a recent photo of the TAC holder.
What are the conditions for a TAC? (continued) • A record of every TAC issued must be kept by the airline and must contain: • Name of the person being issued the TAC • ASIC number of the person being issued the TAC, or if they are an ASIC applicant, the name of the issuing body who is processing the person’s ASIC • A unique TAC number • Dates of issue and expiry of the TAC • If applicable, the day the TAC was returned, cancelled, lost, reported stolen or destroyed
