Article 78 Issue of aerial work certificates
An aircraft shall not be used for the purposes of aerial work as defined in article 157 (including the dropping of articles for the purposes of agriculture, horticulture or forestry or for training for the dropping of articles for any of such purposes), otherwise than under and in accordance with the terms of an aerial work certificate granted to the operator of the aircraft under paragraph (2).
The Governor—
shall grant an aerial work certificate if he is satisfied that the applicant is a fit person to hold the certificate and is competent, having regard in particular to his previous conduct and experience, his equipment, organisation, staffing and other arrangements, to secure the safe operation of the aircraft specified in the certificate on flights for the purposes specified in paragraph (1);
may grant such a certificate subject to such conditions as he thinks fit including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, conditions for ensuring that the aircraft and any article dropped from it do not endanger persons or property in the aircraft or elsewhere.
Every applicant for and holder of an aerial work certificate shall make available to the Governor upon application and to every member of his operating staff upon the certificate being granted, an aerial work manual.
The manual shall contain all such information and instructions as may be necessary to enable the operating staff to perform their duties as such.
The holder of a certificate shall make such amendments of or additions to the manual as the Governor may require.
