This instrument temporarily lifts that ban for this specific pilot and aircraft during the airshow display on **23 March 2007** only.\n\n**Why it matters:** It shows how the aviation safety regulator (CASA) can grant short-term exemptions for special events like airshows, balancing public entertainment against strict safety rules."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight","history":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-ex12-07-exemption-night-acrobatic-flight/documents"}}
