Omit the subregulations, substitute:

"(2) The operator of an aircraft must allow an authorised officer to travel,

the operator notice, at least 7 days before the flight is to occur, that the
officer wants to travel on the flight.

"(2A) The operator of an aircraft must allow an authorised officer to travel,
without charge, on a flight of the aircraft if:

   (a)  the authorised officer gives the operator notice, less than 7 days
        before the flight is to occur, that the officer wants to travel on the
        flight; and

   (b)  the carriage of the authorised officer would not require the
        disembarkation of a passenger, or the unloading of cargo, from the
        aircraft.

"(2B) The operator of an aircraft must allow an authorised officer to travel,
without charge, on a flight of the aircraft if:

   (a)  the authorised officer gives the operator notice, less than 7 days
        before the flight is to occur, that the officer wants to travel on the
        flight; and

   (b)  if the carriage of the authorised officer requires the disembarkation
        of a passenger, or the unloading of cargo, from the aircraft-the
        authorised officer advises the operator that the circumstances
        requiring the officer to travel on the aircraft justify the
        disembarkation or the unloading.

"(3) If an operator:

   (a)  allows an authorised officer to travel on a flight in compliance with
        subregulation (2) or (2B); and

   (b)  loses revenue by allowing the officer to travel on the flight; the

        of the loss.".
