The person in command of a prescribed aircraft may, with such assistance as is reasonably necessary, arrest, without warrant, anyone whom he or she finds committing, or reasonably suspects has committed, an offence against a provision of Part 2 on board the aircraft.
Where a person is arrested under subsection (1), the person in command of the prescribed aircraft concerned, or anyone authorised by the person in command, may hold the arrested person in custody until he or she can be taken into other custody under section 33 or brought before a magistrate to be dealt with in accordance with law.
This section does not prevent the arrest of a person under any other law for an offence against this Act.
