1988 NO. 158 CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS - REG 29

29. (1) Where an aircraft possessing the nationality of a Contracting State is
in Australian territory and is found to have suffered major damage or to have
developed a major defect, the Authority may direct that the aircraft shall not
fly.

(2) Where the Authority gives a direction under this regulation, the Authority
shall furnish to the appropriate authority of the Contracting State a
notification of the action taken by the Authority and a report of the damage
or defect, as the case may be.

(3) The Authority may, unless the Authority considers that it would be
detrimental to the safety of air navigation to do so, revoke a direction given
under this regulation if the appropriate authority of the Contracting State
notifies the Authority that the appropriate authority:

   (a)  has revoked any suspension of the certificate of airworthiness of the
        aircraft to which the direction relates that the appropriate authority
        had imposed;

   (b)  considers that the damage or defect by reason of which the direction
        was given is not of such a nature as to prevent the aircraft from
        fulfilling the minimum requirements of safety
        adopted in pursuance of the Convention; or

   (c)  considers that, in the circumstances of the case, the aircraft to
        which the direction relates should be permitted to fly without
        passengers to a place at which the necessary repairs or modifications
        can be made.

(4) In revoking a direction under this regulation, the Authority may give a
further direction imposing such conditions on the operation of the aircraft as
are notified to the Authority by the appropriate authority referred to in
subregulation (3).

(5) A direction given under this regulation does not have effect in relation
to a person until it has been served by post on the person or has otherwise
been brought to his or her attention.
