53: Rules relating to designation, classification, and certification

You could also call this:

"Rules for Safety in Aviation: Designating, Classifying, and Certifying Aircraft and Services"

The Minister can make rules about designating, classifying, and certifying things like aircraft, aerodromes, and aviation services. You can find more information about this in section 52. The Minister can make these rules for things like aircraft, aerodromes, products used in aviation, services related to aviation, people involved in aviation, and places where aviation activities happen.

The Minister can make rules for a couple of reasons, including allowing air operators to fly in Australia. The Minister can also make rules so that safety certifications are recognised in both New Zealand and Australia, as part of the ANZA mutual recognition agreements.

The Minister has the power to decide what these rules will cover and how they will work, as outlined in the Civil Aviation Act 2023.
