Article 144 Revocation, suspension and variation of certificates, licences and other documentsI1

Subject to paragraph (5), the Department may provisionally suspend or vary a certificate, licence, approval, permission, exemption, authorisation or other document issued, granted, rendered valid or having effect under this Order, pending inquiry into or consideration of the case.

The Department may, on sufficient ground being shown to its satisfaction after due inquiry, revoke, suspend or vary any such certificate, licence, approval, permission, exemption, authorisation or other document.

The holder or a person having the possession or custody of a certificate, licence, approval, permission, exemption or other document that has been revoked, suspended or varied under this Order must surrender it to the Department within a reasonable time after being required to do so by the Department.

The breach of a condition subject to which a certificate, licence, approval, permission, exemption or other document has been issued, granted, rendered valid or which has effect under this Order, in the absence of provision to the contrary in the document, renders the document invalid during the continuance of the breach.

A flight manual, performance schedule or other document incorporated by reference in a certificate of airworthiness may be varied on sufficient ground being shown to the satisfaction of the Department, whether or not after due inquiry.
