53 Application for renewal

(1) A person holding a pilot licence that is in force may apply to AMSA for renewal of the licence.

Note If a licensee does not apply for renewal of the licence, the licence will expire — see section 51. The person may then apply for a new licence under section 47.

(2) An application under this section must be in writing.

Note If a form is approved for the application, the approved form must be used and is available on the AMSA website at http://www.amsa.gov.au — see Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013.

(3) AMSA may, in writing, require the applicant to give AMSA additional information or documents that AMSA reasonably needs to decide the application.

(4) If AMSA requires additional information or documents of an applicant under subsection (3), AMSA is taken to have received the application only when AMSA receives the additional information or documents.

(5) If a licensee applies for renewal of a licence under this section, the licence remains in force until the application is decided.
