The Director can issue an aviation document for a certain period and with conditions they think are suitable. You can get a document for a specific time, and it may have rules you must follow. The Director decides what conditions are appropriate for each document.

If the Director makes a decision about your aviation document, you can appeal to the District Court under section 453. This means you can ask the court to review the decision if you do not agree with it. You have the right to appeal if you are affected by a decision made under this section.
