90 Taking disciplinary action

90.1 If AMSA proposes to take disciplinary action against a person, AMSA must give the person a written notice (a disciplinary notice) that:

(a) states the proposed action (including any proposed disqualification period, suspension period or amendment of a pilot licence); and

(b) states the grounds for the proposed action; and

(c) tells the person that the person may, not later than 1 month after the day the person receives the notice, give a written response to AMSA about the notice.

90.2 In deciding whether to take disciplinary action, AMSA must consider any response given to AMSA by the person in response to the notice.

90.3 AMSA may take the proposed disciplinary action against the person if satisfied that a ground for taking disciplinary action has been established for a person.

90.4 AMSA must give the person written notice of AMSA’s decision.

90.5 Disciplinary action under this provision takes effect on the day when the notice of the decision is given to the person or, if the notice states a later date of effect, that date.
