Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) If a provision of this Part requires a person to give information to CASA about the operation, launching or release of an unmanned aircraft or rocket, then, unless the provision says otherwise, the person may do so by giving the information to:
(a) if the person is an approved aviation administration organisation--the Australian NOTAM Office; or
(b) an appropriate approved aviation administration organisation.
(2) However, subregulation (1) does not apply in relation to the release of small balloons, or in relation to a firework display.
(3) The information need not be given in writing unless:
(a) CASA or the authority to which it is given asks for it to be given in writing in the particular case; or
(b) another provision of these Regulations requires it to be given in writing.
(4) If a person gives the information to an authority mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) or (b), then, subject to subregulation (6), the person is taken, for all purposes, to have complied with the requirement to give the information.
(5) If in a particular case CASA or the authority to which the information is given reasonably requires extra information about the operation, launching or release, CASA or the authority may ask the person for the extra information.
(6) If CASA or an authority asks for more information under subregulation (5), the person is not taken to have complied with the requirement mentioned in subregulation (1) to give the information until the person gives to CASA or the authority the extra information.
(7) If a day is not a working day for the office of CASA or an authority to which notice of an event is given or an application made, that day does not count for the purpose of working out how many working days' notice of the event has been given, or how many working days before an event the application has been made.
"working day" , in relation to an office of CASA or an authority, means a day on which that office is open for business.
