You could also call this:

"Notice to stop flying in New Zealand for a short time if it's not safe"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

The Director can give you a temporary stop notice if you have an Australian air operator's certificate with Australia New Zealand Aviation privileges. This notice tells you to stop all or some of your air operations in New Zealand for up to 7 days. The Director can only give you this notice if they think your air operations are a serious risk to civil aviation safety in New Zealand.

If you get a temporary stop notice, you must stop the air operations listed in the notice right away. You have to stop them for the time period specified in the notice. The Director is the only one who can give or cancel a temporary stop notice, they cannot ask someone else to do it for them.

The Director can change or cancel a temporary stop notice at any time before it expires. They also have to cancel it if they get a response from the CASA about the notice.
