[9]        Paragraph 6.1, the definition of flying training
substitute
flying training means an aerial work operation for the commercial purpose prescribed in subparagraph 206 (1) (a) (vi) of CAR 1988 as in force immediately before commencement of the Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 (No. 1).
Note   Subparagraph 206 (1) (a) (vi) of CAR 1988, as in force immediately before commencement of the Civil Aviation Legislation Amendment Regulation 2013 (No.1) (the amendment regulation), included commercial “flying training” (other than certain conversion training) within the prescription of aerial work. After commencement of the amendment regulation, flying training (other than balloon flying training) is no longer within the prescription of aerial work. Therefore, the definition of “flying training” is no longer required for the Order except to the extent that its retention clarifies the operation of subsection 4B, Delayed and transitional taking-of-effect for grandfathered Part 141 operators.

Except in paragraph 2.2 and subsections 4, 10, 11 and 11B, a reference in this Order to an AOC is taken to include a Part 141 certificate: see paragraph 6.4.
