 (a) on receipt of 7 days' notice prior to a flight from the officer of his or her intention to travel on that flight;
 (b) on immediate demand from the officer of his or her intention to travel, if his or her carriage in the aircraft does not mean the off‑loading of a passenger or of cargo being carried in the aircraft on the particular flight concerned;
 (c) on immediate demand from the officer of his or her intention to travel irrespective of whether his or her carriage in the aircraft means the off‑loading of a passenger or of goods, if the officer considers the circumstances of the case so warrant.
Penalty: 10 penalty units.

 (3) In every case where the carriage of an officer in the circumstances specified in paragraph (2)(a) or (c) entails a loss of revenue to the owner of the aircraft due to the necessity of providing accommodation which would otherwise have been used for the carriage of a paying passenger or of cargo for which freight would have been charged, the owner shall be paid an amount equivalent to the loss of revenue.
