70: Duration of emergency rule

You could also call this:

"How long emergency aviation rules can last"

An emergency rule can be in force for up to 90 days and can be renewed for another 30 days. You can think of an emergency rule like a special set of instructions that help keep people safe during an emergency. The Director is the person who makes these rules. The Minister can extend the emergency rule for up to 180 more days, but they must follow the rules outlined in the Legislation Act 2019, which you can find on the Legislation Act 2019 website. Before the Minister extends the rule, they must talk to the people and groups they think should be involved, like those in the aviation industry.
