Aircraft flights: when do they start?

In force

For the purposes of this Act, a flight of an aircraft is taken to start:

(a)

when the last external door is closed in preparation for the first movement of the aircraft for the purpose of taking off on the flight; or

(b)

if the aircraft moves, before all the external doors are closed, for the purpose of taking off on the flight—when it first so moves.
