6 Direction
        The direction in section 5 of CASA EX67/24 does not apply to a pilot in command mentioned in subsection 4 (1) in relation to ensuring that any activity in relation to the flight or operation, if occurring before or after the flight, is conducted in a way that meets any requirement or limitation for an activity that:
(a) is mentioned in the aircraft flight manual instructions for the aircraft; and
(b) relates to compliance with the aeroplane's maximum take-off weight mentioned in the aircraft flight manual instructions.
Note   This direction is required because regulation 91.095 of CASR in effect only applies in relation to the operation of an aircraft during flight, and the direction in section 5 of CASA EX67/24 in effect expands the scope of regulation 91.095 to ensure compliance with requirements mentioned in the aircraft flight manual instructions that relate to activities occurring before or after the flight.
