"The boss of the Civil Aviation Authority is called the Director of Civil Aviation."

The board of the Civil Aviation Authority, after talking to the Minister, must choose a Director of Civil Aviation from time to time. You need to know that the Director is a very important person in the organisation. The board must also make the Director the chief executive of the Civil Aviation Authority, following the rules in section 117 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.

The rules about how long the Director can stay in the job are in section 117(1) of the Crown Entities Act 2004. This means the Director's term of office has certain limits. The board must follow these rules when appointing the Director.
