The licensee operating a heavy aircraft may replace that aircraft by another heavy aircraft without the prior approval of the Licensing Authority provided the maximum approved agricultural payload of the replacement aircraft is not greater or less than one half ton of such approved payload in respect of the aircraft being replaced. Every such replacement shall be notified promptly to the Authority.

(d) Nothing in this clause shall apply to helicopters.

(4) Boundaries:

(b) Where in any licence a boundary is defined inter alia as being a line running from the mouth of a river or other waterway such line shall be deemed to run from the northern side of the mouth of such river or other waterway unless the licence otherwise provides.

C. General for Air Services:

(5) Insurance:

(a) Except in respect of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation and of Straits Air Freight Express Ltd., it shall be a condition of all air service licences that the licence holder shall maintain during the currency of the licence:

(c) Within one week from the due date of the renewal or on the replacement of any such insurance policy or within such extended time as the Licensing Authority may permit, there shall be deposited with the Licensing Authority a like certificate as is required under paragraph (b) herein. If the certificate as aforesaid is not deposited within the period as stated the licence shall be deemed to be suspended until such certificate is deposited.

(i) Where:

(a) The holder of a licence is an individual and by any means whatever his controlling interest in the business in respect of which the licence applies passes to any other person or persons; or

(b) The holder of a licence is a company and by any means whatever the controlling interest in that company passes to any person or persons other than those named as shareholders or intending shareholders when the application for a licence was made; then in either such event the licence shall be deemed to be suspended as from the date of such passing unless the prior approval of the Authority has been obtained, or unless and until full details of the transaction or proposed transaction involving the passing of the controlling interest as aforesaid have been given to the Authority and its approval to such passing has been granted.

(ii) Where by reason of transmission on death the provisions of subpara. (i) herein would apply, the licence shall not be deemed to be suspended until after the expiration of three calendar months from the date of death.
