92.2 AMSA must, as soon as practicable, give a notice (an emergency suspension notice) to the pilot.
92.3 The emergency disciplinary notice must:
(b) state:
(i) the date of issue of the notice; and
(ii) when the suspension starts; and
(iii) when the suspension ends; and
(iv) the circumstances causing the emergency suspension of the licence.
92.4 AMSA must also keep a record of the emergency suspension notice.
92.5 AMSA must investigate the circumstances of the collision or grounding to determine whether the pilot’s conduct contributed to the collision or grounding.
