  CASA publishes no OpenAPI, so no securityScheme could be derived mechanically.
  This profile is read from CASA's own published documentation and the public
  RPAS Platform reference PDFs. Two surfaces are anonymous; one is gated by a
  CASA-issued service account.

      The Airworthiness Directives data files and the Australian Civil Aircraft
      Register data files are served without authentication. No API key, no
      account, no registration and no click-through terms acceptance were
      located on either data-files page.
    hosts:
      - https://services.casa.gov.au
    evidence: >-
      CASA's data-files pages publish direct download URLs with no credential
      instructions; combinedadweb.json was retrieved and parsed anonymously on
      2026-07-28 (see review.yml probes).
    caveat: >-
      services.casa.gov.au returns HTTP 403 to unadorned programmatic clients
      (curl). This is an edge/bot filter, not an authentication requirement -
      the same URLs return 200 to a browser-like client.

      The CASA RPAS Digital Platform feeds under data.casa.rpasplatform.net are
      accessed with a CASA-issued service account. The RPAS Platform Operating
      Rules (Attachment A) state for the notifications feed that the "URL needs
      authentication with a service account". No public token endpoint, no
      OAuth metadata and no self-serve credential issuance exists.

      process: >-
        Written application to CASA; acceptance of the RPAS Platform Terms and
        Conditions (four-year initial term); a Declaration of Compliance against
        the RPAS Platform Operating Rules; a live onboarding check-out against
        the RPAS Platform Test Procedure (two attempts permitted); and
        demonstrable compliance with Australian Government security and privacy
        requirements including the ASD Essential Eight, at the applicant's
        expense.
      environments:
        - name: staging
          note: Credentials issued once the initial written application is accepted and terms agreed.
        - name: development
          note: CASA internal only.
        - name: production
          note: Credentials issued only after the minimum requirements for approval are met.
      prerequisite: >-
        A paid Airservices Australia aeronautical/airspace data licence must be
        in place before CASA will consider approving access (Concept of
        Operations clause 13.1).
      currently_open: partial
      status_note: >-
        New app providers may apply to onboard for Sydney Harbour AAA
        (R405A/R405B) and airspace awareness maps. CASA has paused onboarding of
        new providers for the ten trial aerodromes pending Airservices'
        Flight Information Management System (FIMS).
