Aviation documents, medical certification, and drug and alcohol testing - Requirements for aviation documents

77: Condition of aviation document that holder, etc, continues to satisfy fit and proper person test

You could also call this:

"Hold an aviation document? You must stay a fit and proper person."

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you have an aviation document, you must keep meeting the fit and proper person test. This test is specified in section 75(1)(b)(ii). You and anyone who controls the document must pass this test.

The people who make the rules can say that some aviation documents do not need to meet this test. If that happens, this rule does not apply to those documents.

You can find more information about this in section 75(1)(b)(ii), which explains what the fit and proper person test is.
