Division 6.2 Exemptions and directions

22 Flight in a performance class — exemptions
       (1) This section applies to the operator, and the pilot in command, for the flight of a rotorcraft in an Australian air transport operation.
       (2) The operator and the pilot in command are each exempted from compliance with subregulations 133.315(1) and (3) if:
(a) subregulation 133.315(1) applies to the operator or the pilot in command in relation to a stage of the flight; and
(b) the rotorcraft is not flown in a performance class for the stage of the flight; and
(c) the conditions under Division 6.3 are complied with.
       (3) The operator and the pilot in command are each exempted from compliance with subregulations 133.335(2) and (3) if:
(a) subregulation 133.335(2) applies to the operator or the pilot in command in relation to a stage of the flight; and
(b) the rotorcraft is not flown in the relevant performance class for the stage of the flight; and
(c) the conditions under Division 6.3 are complied with.
Note 1   There is no need for exemption from compliance with regulations 133.305 and 133.310 because the MOS currently contains no provisions made under these regulations.
Note 2   There is no need for exemption from compliance with regulations 133.320, 133.325, 133.330 and 133.340 because these regulations only apply if a rotorcraft is flown in a performance class. If a person is taking advantage of an exemption under section 22, the rotorcraft is not being flown in a performance class and, therefore, no need for further exemptions arises.

Division 6.3 Conditions

23 Compliance with requirements
        Each exemption under Division 6.2 is subject to the condition that the operator and the pilot in command must each comply with the requirements set out in this Division that apply to the operator, or the pilot in command, or the operator and the pilot in command, as applicable.
