Clause 10

Where an aircraft is flown in such a manner as to be the cause of unnecessary danger to any person or property on land or water, the pilot or the person in charge of the aircraft, and also the owner thereof, unless he proves to the satisfaction of the court that the aircraft was so flown without his actual fault or privity, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both such fine and imprisonment.For the purposes of this section, the expression “owner” in relation to an aircraft includes any person by whom the aircraft is hired at the time of the offence.

The provisions of this section shall be in additional to and not in derogation of any provisions made by the Minister under the powers conferred by section 3.
