The ban began at 11:59 pm on the day this was registered and automatically expires 15 days later.\n\n**Why it matters:** This is an urgent safety measure. CASA uses this power when there's an immediate risk to aviation safety — typically following a serious incident or accident involving the aircraft type that requires investigation before flights can safely resume."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019","history":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-44-19-temporary-prohibition-of-operations-gippsaero-ga8-airvan-direction-2019/documents"}}
