Air Services Act 1995

A person prescribed by the regulations may make a written request to an authorised employee for the issue of a certificate under this section.

Upon a request being made, the authorised employee must issue a certificate stating:

whether a statutory lien applies to the aircraft; and

whether or not, as at a specified date and time, any service charge or late payment penalty is payable and unpaid in respect of the aircraft; and

in respect of any such charge or penalty, the amount of it and the date upon which it became payable.

Where a certificate has been issued, any statutory lien on the aircraft, whether imposed before or after the time to which the certificate relates, does not cover:

any service charge in respect of the aircraft that was payable and unpaid as at the time specified in the certificate but was not specified in the certificate; or

any late payment penalty relating to any such charge.
