This exemption removes that 110-hour requirement for Kelly Hamblin.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Kelly Hamblin** (Aviation Reference Number 586810) — the individual pilot who applied for this exemption\n- CASA — the aviation safety regulator that granted it\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis shows how aviation law works in practice. While there are standard rules for everyone, CASA has the power to grant **individual exemptions** when someone can demonstrate they don't need the full standard requirements. This might be because Kelly Hamblin already had equivalent experience, different training, or met the safety standards another way. It's a flexible tool that lets the regulator adapt rules to individual circumstances without changing the law for everyone."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot","history":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-ex45-05-exemption-supervision-by-approved-agricultural-aeroplane-pilot/documents"}}
