299: Content of improvement notices

You could also call this:

"What an improvement notice must include to help you fix a problem with civil aviation laws"

An improvement notice tells you that an inspector thinks you are breaking or might break civil aviation laws. The notice must say what law you are breaking or might break, and how you are breaking it or might break it. It must also give you a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem.

The notice must include details about what you need to do to fix the problem, such as stopping something that is causing the issue. It can also suggest ways for you to fix the problem or prevent it from happening again. You can find more information about this by looking at the civil aviation laws that the inspector is referring to. The inspector wants you to take action to fix the problem within a certain time frame.
