Air Navigation Act 1937
Reprint 2: The Act as at 5 November 2004
What the reprint includes
Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation
1.Details about the original Act and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.
2.Validation, transitional, savings, or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.
3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the Act being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.
Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)
1.If the reprint includes a section that was inserted, or has been amended, since the Act being reprinted was passed, editorial notes at the foot of the section give some history of how the section came to be as it is. If the section replaced an earlier section, no history of the earlier section is given (the full history of the Act is in the Compilation table).
Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.
2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —
•removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or
•omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (
The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.
Reprint numbering and date
1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the Act has been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the Act was passed. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.
2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the Act is reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

An Act to provide for the application of the Commonwealth Air Navigation Regulations to and in relation to air navigation within the State of Western Australia.
Preamble
Whereas at a conference of representatives of the Governments of the Commonwealth and of the States held in April 1937 it was resolved that there should be uniform rules throughout the Commonwealth applying to air navigation and air craft, and in particular to the airworthiness of air craft, the licensing and competence of pilots, air traffic rules, and the regulation of aerodromes, and it was agreed that legislation should be introduced in the Parliament of each State to make provision for the application of the Commonwealth Air Navigation Regulations, as in force from time to time, to air navigation and air craft within the jurisdiction of the State:
BE it therefore enacted by the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: —
This Act may be cited as the Air Navigation Act 1937 1.
This Act shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by proclamation 1.
In this Act, subject to the context —
“the Commonwealth Act” means the Air Navigation Act 1920‑1936 of the Commonwealth of Australia, and, if that Act is amended, includes that Act as amended from time to time;
“the Regulations” means the Air Navigation Regulations made and as in force from time to time under the Commonwealth Act;
“the Territories” means territories under the authority of the Commonwealth and includes territories governed by the Commonwealth under a mandate.
4.Application of Commonwealth Air Navigation Regulations to air navigation, etc., within the State
The regulations from time to time in force applicable to and in relation to air navigation within the territories shall (except so far as those regulations are by virtue of the Commonwealth Act and the regulations applicable to and in relation to air navigation within the State of Western Australia) apply, mutatis mutandis
5.Certain powers and functions vested in Commonwealth authorities
Where by or under the regulations any power or function is vested in or exercisable by any person or authority for the purpose of the regulations, or any part thereof, the like power or function under the regulations in their application by virtue of this Act

Any certificate, licence, or registration granted, issued, recognised or effected —
(a)by or under the regulations in their application under the Commonwealth Act; or
(b)by or under the regulations in their application by virtue of the law of any other State of the Commonwealth,
and any cancellation or suspension of any such certificate, licence, or registration, shall in this State have the same force and effect as if it had been granted, issued, recognised, or effected in pursuance of the regulations in their application by virtue of this Act
