 (a) the aerodrome is not a certified aerodrome or registered aerodrome; and

 (b) there is a terminal instrument flight procedure for the aerodrome; and

 (c) the terminal instrument flight procedure is not only for use in a specialised helicopter operation.

Penalty: 10 penalty units.

 (2) The operator of an aerodrome commits an offence if:

 (a) there is a terminal instrument flight procedure for the aerodrome; and

 (b) the terminal instrument flight procedure is not only for use in a specialised helicopter operation; and

 (c) the aerodrome:

 (i) ceases to be a certified aerodrome and does not become a registered aerodrome; or

 (ii) ceases to be a registered aerodrome and does not become a certified aerodrome; and

 (d) the operator does not, in writing and as soon as possible after the cessation, tell each of the following of the cessation:

 (c) a proposed building or structure the top of which will be 110 metres or more above ground level;

is, or will be, a hazardous object because of its location, height or lack of marking or lighting.

 (2) CASA may determine, in writing, that a gaseous efflux having a velocity exceeding 4.3 metres per second is, or will be, a hazard to aircraft operations because of the velocity or location of the efflux.

 (3) If CASA makes a determination under subregulation (1) or (2), it must:

 (a) publish in AIP or NOTAMS particulars of the hazardous object or gaseous efflux to which the determination relates; and
