In plain language

If you hire someone else to write your Part 102 operations manual, you must still thoroughly understand every part of it. The manual must also be customized to your specific operations rather than being a generic template.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ states that if an applicant hires an external writer to draft their exposition, the applicant must still fully understand the document's contents.
