Aviation documents, medical certification, and drug and alcohol testing - Powers of Director in relation to aviation documents

97: Further provisions in relation to suspension of, or imposition of conditions on, aviation document

You could also call this:

"Rules about what happens if your aviation document is suspended or has conditions added"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If a certain rule applies, the Director can take some actions. You might be affected if the Director imposes conditions for a certain time, withdraws conditions, suspends your aviation document for a while, or revokes your document. The Director can also impose permanent conditions on your document.

The Director gets these powers from section 96, section 355(2)(b), section 98, and section 82. If you receive a notice about your document being revoked or having permanent conditions imposed, your document will stay suspended until the Director makes a final decision.

If your aviation document is suspended or has conditions imposed on it, you must give the document to the Director if it is a physical document. You can appeal to the District Court under section 453 if you disagree with the Director's decision about your document.

If notice of a proposed revocation of an aviation document, or notice of the proposed imposition of permanent conditions on an aviation document, is given in accordance with section 82 (as required by section 98(3)), either at the same time as the suspension of the document under this section is imposed or while the suspension is in force, the document to which the notice relates remains suspended until the Director finally decides whether to revoke the document or to impose permanent conditions on the aviation document under section 98.
