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

101: Further powers of Director to amend or revoke aviation document

You could also call this:

"The Director can change or cancel aviation documents for good reasons."

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

The Director can change or cancel an aviation document if you ask them to in writing. You can ask the Director to change the document or cancel it. The Director can also make changes to an aviation document if you are not using the privileges or doing the duties that the document allows. They can also correct any mistakes in the document.

The Director can change or cancel a document if you are not doing what the document says you should be doing. They have to tell you first and give you a chance to say something about it. The Director can also add conditions to the document.

If the Director decides to change or cancel your document, you have to give it to them right away if you can. You can see how this rule has changed over time by looking at the 1990 No 98 s 20 rule. The Director has the power to cancel a document and give you a new one, or add conditions to it.
