Exit from the System
If aviation document holders operate outside the Rules, they may be removed from the system or have conditions imposed.
In less serious cases, safety breaches may be addressed through education, support and advice. However, the Director of Civil Aviation has the power to revoke aviation documents, and to enforce the requirements of the Act and the Rules.
Once aviation documents have been revoked, the holders must start the entire certification process again from the beginning if they wish to re-enter the system. Their past actions will have a significant impact on whether they are granted an aviation document, and on the Risk Rating they attract.
