Subdivision 6.3 Variation and renewal

52 Variation
       (1)AMSA may, by written notice (a variation notice) given to a licensee, vary the pilot licence.
Note   vary includes vary, impose or remove a licence condition — see section 4.
       (2)However, AMSA may vary the pilot licence only if:
(a) AMSA has given the licensee written notice (a proposal notice) of the proposed variation; and
(b) the proposal notice states that written comments on the proposal may be made to AMSA before the end of a stated period of at least 30 days after the proposal notice is given to the licensed pilot; and
(c) after the end of the stated period, AMSA has considered any comments made in response to the notice.
       (3)Subsection (2) does not apply if the licensee agrees in writing to the variation.
       (4)The variation takes effect on the day the variation notice is given to the licensee or a later day stated in the notice.

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.
Note   A fee may be determined for this section — see the AMSA Act, s 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.
