77C: Transitional provisions for screening

You could also call this:

"Rules for checking passengers on New Zealand flights in 2002"

If you're interested in how screening for domestic flights worked in New Zealand in 2002, here's what you need to know:

The Director of Civil Aviation had the power to tell airports to screen passengers on domestic flights. If the Director made this rule before 1 June 2002, it would stay in place until 1 September 2002. After that date, the rule would no longer work. However, the Director could cancel the rule earlier if they wanted to.

If you were a person who did the screening of passengers on domestic flights because of a rule made before 1 June 2002, you could keep doing your job until 1 September 2002. This also applied if you did searches related to this screening. After 1 September 2002, you wouldn't be allowed to do this job anymore unless a new rule was made.

These rules were put in place to help everyone change from the old way of doing things to a new way of handling security at airports for domestic flights in New Zealand.
