External Contracting of Prime Person

In plain language

If you don't have anyone qualified within your company to be the 'prime person' for your Part 102 certificate, you can hire an external contractor to fill the role.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ allows applicants who do not have an internal candidate to contract an external person to act as the prime person.

Original regulatory text

If an applicant has no one they can nominate from within their own organisation, they can contract from outside – at least until such time as someone else gains enough experience to apply successfully to be the prime person.
