Dangerous Goods Approval for Agricultural Chemical Transport

In plain language

You do not need a dangerous goods approval to fly and spray agricultural chemicals immediately. However, if you are transporting those chemicals by air to a job site for later use, you must have a dangerous goods approval.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ states that operators do not need a Dangerous Goods (DG) approval to carry agricultural chemicals for immediate dispersal, but must obtain a DG approval if transporting those same chemicals by air for later use.

Original regulatory text

Operators do not need a DG approval to carry agricultural chemicals for immediate dispersal during an agricultural aircraft operation. They do, however, need DG approval if transporting those same chemicals by air for later use (e.g. a delivery to a job site).
