Granting permission

  (1)   If:

  (a)   a person wishes to operate a foreign registered aircraft on regulated domestic flights; and

  (b)   CASA has not entered into an agreement of a kind referred to in paragraph   28A(1)(a) that is necessary to permit the issue of an AOC authorising that operation;

the person may apply for a permission for the aircraft to be so operated.

  (1A)   CASA may, by written notice given to the applicant, require the applicant to give CASA evidence of the matters listed in paragraphs 28AA(1)(a), (b), (c) and (d) (including, as applicable, by giving examples of the things mentioned in subsections   28AA(2) to (5)).

  (2)   CASA may only grant the permission if it is satisfied:

  (a)   if the person does not have a commercial presence in Australia--that the person has complied with, or is capable of complying with, the condition referred to in paragraph   (4)(a) (if applicable); and

  (b)   in any case--that to do so will not adversely affect the safety of air navigation.

  (3)   The permission may be granted only for a period of not more than 7 days specified in the permission starting on a day specified in the permission.

Conditions

  (4)   A permission granted under this section has effect subject to:

  (a)   the condition that section   41E of the Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959 (which deals with personal injury liability insurance) is complied with (if applicable); and

  (b)   any conditions relating to the operation, maintenance and airworthiness of the aircraft covered by the permission:

  (i)   that CASA considers necessary in the interests of the safety of air navigation; and

  (ii)   that are specified by CASA in the permission.

  (5)   CASA may, at any time, by written notice given to the holder of the permission, vary the conditions (other than the condition referred to in paragraph   (4)(a)) or impose further conditions if CASA considers it necessary to do so in the interests of the safety of air navigation.

Cancellation

  (6)   CASA may, by oral or written notice given to the holder of a permission granted under this section, cancel the permission if:

  (a)   the condition referred to in paragraph   (4)(a) is breached; or
