  (b)   on written request of an ASAO; or

  (c)   on CASA's own initiative;

if CASA is satisfied that it is necessary in the interests of the safety of air navigation to do so.

  (2)   CASA may, by written notice given to the holder of an authorisation issued by an ASAO, vary, suspend or cancel the authorisation.

  (3)   Before making a decision under subregulation   (2), CASA must:

  (6)   If CASA varies, suspends or cancels an authorisation issued by an ASAO, CASA must notify the ASAO in writing of the variation, suspension or cancellation as soon as practicable.
