"How notices about aviation rules can be given to you"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you get a notice, it can be given to you in different ways. You might get it by someone handing it to you in person. It could be sent to you by post to your home or workplace, or sent to you electronically. You might also get it by someone leaving it at your home or workplace with another person who is 16 or older. If the notice is about a specific aviation place, it could be left there with the person in charge.

If you have an aviation document, the notice can be sent to the address you provided for that document. There may be other ways to give you the notice, which are decided by regulations. If you are sent a notice by post, you are considered to have received it seven days after it was sent.

Regulations may say what you need to do to make sure other people know about the notice. You can look at similar rules from the past, like the one in s 116 of a 2015 law, to see how this works.
