Offences and penalties - Disqualification

59: Effect of disqualification

You could also call this:

"What happens if a court says you can't use your flying document"

If you have an aviation document and a court says you can't have it, your document is suspended. This means you can't use it while the court's order is in place.

If the court's order will end before your document expires, your document will still not work after the order ends. To make it work again, you need to pass some tests and do what the Director asks you to do.

  1. Where the holder of an aviation document is disqualified by an order of a court from holding or obtaining an aviation document, the document shall be deemed to be suspended while the disqualification continues in force, and during the period of suspension shall be of no effect.

  2. If the holder of an aviation document is disqualified from holding or obtaining a document, and the disqualification will expire before the expiration of the term of the document, the document shall, on the expiration of the disqualification, continue to be of no effect until the holder of it undergoes and passes such tests and fulfils such requirements as the Director may from time to time specify.
