31. (1) The Authority may, on the application of a qualified person, grant to
the qualified person an aircraft maintenance engineer licence.

(2) The Authority may, when granting an aircraft maintenance engineer licence
or at any time while such a licence is in force, enter an endorsement on the
licence specifying the limits of the work to which the licence relates.

(3) The Authority may, for the purpose of ensuring the safety of air
navigation, include in an aircraft maintenance engineer licence an endorsement
that the licence is granted subject to a condition set out in the endorsement
or in a specified Part or Section of Civil Aviation Orders.
(4) In this regulation, "qualified person" means a person who:

   (a)  has attained the age of 21 years;

   (b)  satisfies the Authority that he or she possesses such knowledge as the
        Authority requires of:

        (i)    the principles of flight of aircraft;

        (ii)   the assembly, functioning and principles of construction of,
               and the methods and procedures for the maintenance of, those
               parts of an aircraft that the Authority considers relevant
               having regard to the licence sought; and

        (iii)  these Regulations and the Civil Aviation Orders;

   (c)  satisfies the Authority that he or she has had such practical
        experience of the duties performed by a holder of the licence sought
        as the Authority requires;

   (d)  satisfies the Authority that he or she is not suffering from any
        disability likely to affect his technical skill or judgment; and

   (e)  has passed such examinations as the Authority requires to be passed by
        an applicant for the licence sought.

(5) Any requirement formulated by the Authority for the purposes of
subregulation (4) shall be not less than the corresponding minimum requirement
adopted in pursuance of the Convention.

(6) Where a person satisfies the Authority that the person:

   (a)  is the holder of a licence equivalent to the licence sought granted by
        a competent authority in, and in force in accordance with the law of,
        a country other than Australia;

   (b)  has complied with the minimum conditions required under the Convention
        and with such other requirements as the Authority specifies; and

   (c)  does not suffer from any disability likely to affect his or her
        technical skill or judgment; the Authority may, for the purposes of
        this regulation, treat the person as if he or she were a
        qualified person.
