The ATSB will receive an additional $50.024 million in appropriation revenue during 2015–16 to continue to assist the Malaysian Government with its investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370). This additional revenue is not included in the table above, as the table only reflects the ATSB’s core business. The ATSB will continue to work with primary and secondary stakeholders in relation to decisions made by Governments in relation to the search and/or potential recovery operations of MH370.

Under 'Performance' section of CP: ...The ATSB will continue to assist the Malaysian Government with its investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) in accordance with Annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The ATSB will continue to work with primary and secondary stakeholders in relation to decisions made by Governments in relation to the search and/or potential recovery operations of MH370.
Under 'Risk oversight & management' section of CP: ...The ATSB is currently using a mature approach to risk management to guide its activities in the search for the missing Malaysia Airline aircraft MH370. Searching for missing aircraft and planning for their recovery are not part of the ATSB’s core business. However, the ATSB has been able to undertake the lead role in the search by ensuring that it is proactive in identifying the obstacles to a successful operation and adapting and mobilising resources expediently to overcome these obstacles.
