53 Directions to take preparatory steps

(1) A relevant operator who has taken the benefit of any exemption under section 51 must:

(a) not later than the end of a date specified in writing by CASA — give CASA the proposed exposition content that meets the requirements of regulation 119.195 (proposed exposition content) along with any supporting documents that are specified in writing by CASA; and

Note Through its website, and in communications to relevant operators, CASA will give at least 3 months’ notice of any appropriate specified dates for submitting the proposed exposition content.

(b) subject to subsection (3), not commence using its proposed exposition content until the day it receives CASA’s written advice that it may do so.

Note Receiving the written advice would permit a relevant operator to use the proposed exposition content immediately. In any event, it must be used as soon as the exemption expires on the specified date mentioned in section 54.

(3) Paragraph (1) (b) does not apply to an operator’s use of its proposed T&C exposition content for purposes other than compliance with civil aviation legislation.

Note For example, paragraph (1) (b) does not prevent an operator using its proposed exposition content for the purpose of meeting a customer’s contractual requirement for the operator to have and use a FDAP.
