- High Court
CAR 19.207(3) must be read to require both the carriage of specified non-GNSS (sole-means) navigation equipment and that those sole-means systems be appropriate to and able to provide navigation for the specific route segment; the Director validly exercised s37(2)(d) to exempt operators from the 'appropriate for the route' limb subject to conditions that mitigate safety risk pending rule change; allegations of improper purpose, abuse of discretion, failure to consult and Wednesbury unreasonableness were not established and the NZAF's claims were dismissed.
