21 Transfer of maintenance responsibility

(1) A relevant designer may transfer the designer’s responsibility for maintaining a terminal instrument flight procedure under section 20 to another certified designer whose procedure design certificate authorises that designer to design terminal instrument flight procedures of the same type as the procedure concerned.

(2) Despite subsection (1), a relevant designer must not transfer the designer’s responsibility for maintaining a terminal instrument flight procedure without the written approval of CASA.

(3) Before granting an approval mentioned in subsection (2), CASA must be satisfied that the proposed transferee would be able to comply with the directions in this Division in relation to the procedure.

Note Directions in this Division include the requirements of section 11 as subject to section 15 (which provides for the circumstances set out in Schedule 1), and any requirements set out in Schedule 1 for the purposes of the direction in subsection 15(4).

(4) If a certified designer accepts responsibility for the maintenance of a terminal instrument flight procedure under this section, the designer:

(a) must give written notice to the transferor to that effect; and

(b) must give written notice of the transfer to CASA and, if the procedure is published in the AIP, to the AIS, within 14 days after the transfer.

(5) A transfer takes effect on the day when the certified designer accepting responsibility for maintaining the procedure gives notice to the transferor under paragraph (4)(a) or, if a later day is specified in the notice, on the later day.
