New South Wales act
This Act imports the Commonwealth Air Navigation Regulations into New South Wales, making them apply in NSW (with necessary adjustments), preserving the regulatory powers and recognition of certificates, licences and registrations issued under the Commonwealth or other States. It requires fees under those regulations to be paid to the Commonwealth.
It affects aircraft operators, licence holders and regulatory authorities, creates dependency on Air Transport Act 1964 licences for certain permissions, and centralises technical rules and revenue collection at the Commonwealth level.
