"What 'equipment' means in the law about Airways' old gear"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

When you read about equipment in relation to section 338, equipment refers to things used by Airways to do their job. These things must have been installed before 1 January 1988. Equipment also includes cables, wires, navigational aids, and other things like that.

If Airways gives a certificate saying some equipment was installed before 1 January 1988, you can use that certificate as evidence in court. The certificate is proof that the equipment was installed before that date, unless someone can prove otherwise. You can trust the certificate unless there is a good reason not to.
