What are the penalties/sanctions if you flop on a RPT aerodrome in a
non motorised glider because the day dies for example. I ask only out
of curiosity and laziness to research.
If you are in a security area of a security controlled aerodrome you
must either (a) wear your ASIC, or (b) be escorted by someone who is
wearing their ASIC.
There is a list of security controlled aerodromes at
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/transport/security/aviation/files/List_of_Airport_Classifications_23082013.pdf
The criteria for each category of airport are in the Aviation Security
Regulations 2005 - a copy is on the Comlaw web site at page 58
(regulation 3.01B) of http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013C00204
The rules on display of an ASIC are:
3.03 Requirement to display ASICs in secure areas
(1) Subject to subregulations (4), (4A) and (5),
regulations 3.05 to 3.09 and subregulations 3.18(2) and 3.26(2):
(a) a person in the airside security zone of a
security controlled airport must properly display a valid red ASIC; and
(b) a person in a secure area (other than the
airside security zone) of such an airport must properly display either a
valid red ASIC or a valid grey ASIC.
Penalty: 5 penalty units.
Note 1: The requirement in subregulation (1) applies to a person
who is accessing parts of the sterile area not generally accessible to
passengers or the public.
Note 2: For */properly displaying/*, see regulation 1.04; for
*/valid/*, see regulation 1.05; for */secure area/*, see regulation 1.03.
Note 3: A person who properly displays a valid VIC or TAC, and is
supervised by a person who properly displays a valid ASIC, need not
display a valid ASIC—see regulation 3.09.
(2) To avoid doubt, the obligations in subregulation (1)
apply to crew.
(3) A contravention of subregulation (1) is an offence of
strict liability.
(4) Subregulation (1) does not apply in relation to a
security controlled airport from or to which no regular public transport
operation operates.
(4A) At a security controlled airport from or to which no
screened air service operates, paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) apply only
during traffic periods.
(4B) To avoid doubt, there is no requirement that a person
display a VIC or TAC in the secure area of an airport referred to in
subregulation (4A) other than during traffic periods.
(5) Subregulation (1) does not apply to a person:
(a) who is in a part of the sterile area that is
generally accessible to passengers or the public generally; or
(b) who is a passenger and:
(i) is boarding or disembarking from an
aircraft by means of an aerobridge; or
(ii) is boarding or disembarking from an
aircraft in the secure area and is moving reasonably directly between
the aircraft and the terminal building.
the traffic period is the time from 2 hours before the scheduled arrival
of an RPT aircraft until 2 hours after it departs, and the airside
security zone is only within a specified area of the aerodrome.
Also note the exclusions in 4, 4A and 4B.
5 penalty units means a court can impose a fine of up to $550, and there
is a $110 fixed penalty notice scheme in existence. If you get 3 fixed
penalty notices you can lose your ASIC for between 1 and 2 years.
All really designed to screen out terrorists and people inadvertently
carrying dangerous goods on aeroplanes in passenger services, but making
life difficult for people with legitimate business and recreational
activity related to aviation.
Hope this helps some of you work out what is and what is not required -
I make no comment on the appropriateness or otherwise of the rules -
just identifying what they are!
