The harbourmaster, must, in consultation with the Secretary, establish a training programme to qualify any eligible person who wishes to train as a pilot. (2) Without limiting the previous sub-clause, the training programme must include (a) training in theoretical, legal and administrative aspects of pilotage with associated assessments in a form agreed between the harbourmaster and the Secretary: (b) on the job training in practical aspects of pilotage within the Avatiu pilotage area. (3) That on the job training may be carried out by­ (a) the harbourmaster: (b) a check pilot. (4) If a person completes that training programme to the satisfaction of both the harbourmaster and the Secretary, that trainee pilot may act as pilot for a vessel, accompanied by a check pilot. (5) The trainee pilot must successfully, and safely, complete at least four vessel movements under the supervision of a check pilot, two of which must be on a different vessel, and all of which must consist of pilotage both inbound and outbound. 9 Rarotonga Pilotage Regulations 2017 20 Record oftraining (1) The harbounnaster must keep a record of all training which must be readily available to the Secretary. (2) The check pilot must report, in writing, to the harbourmaster, on each vessel movement that a trainee pilot carries out. (3) That report must give full details of the level of competence shown by the trainee pilot together with full details of any incident or accident (and of any averted incident or accident). 21 Reduced training requirements in some cases (1) If a person has relevant prior experience or competencies, the Secretary, acting together with the harbourmaster, may waive compliance with any part of regulation 19 to the extent that both agree is appropriate in the circumstances of that person.

(3) Those include, but are not limited to (a) prior, satisfactory, experience of pilotage within the Avatiu pilotage area: (h) prior, satisfactory, experience of pilotage in any other port. 22 Training and qualification guidelines The harboUlmaster may, from time to time, issue guidelines, not inconsistent with the Act or these regulations, to make sure that training and qualification requirements under these regulations meet recognised regional and international standards. Licensing 23 Issue of a pilot licence (1) Once the harbourmaster is satisfied, from the reports of check pilots, of a trainee pilot's core competence, the harbourmaster must notifY both the Secretary and the trainee pilot of that, in writing. (2) The trainee pilot may then apply to the Secretary to be granted a pilot licence. (3) Prior to the issue of a pilot licence, the Secretary must seek the comments and opinions of the harbourmaster in order to make a final decision as to the competence and capability of applicant trainee pilot. (4) The Secretary may (a) issue pilot licences in a form decided on by the Secretary; (h) modifY that form from time to time as the Secretary thinks appropriate. (5) In this regulation core competence means competence and capability to a level that allows the harbourmaster, with confidence, to recommend a trainee pilot be allowed to carry out pilotage duties without a check pilot present. 24 No right to pilot licence (1) No-one has the right to a pilot licence under these regulations. 10 Rarotonga Pilotage Regulations 2017 (2) The harbounnaster has responsibilities under the Act and these regulations, and because of this, the final decision to issue a pilot licence to a trainee pilot depends on the degree of confidence that the harbourmaster has in that person's competence and capability. (3) If, despite a trainee pilot having passed all examinations and assessments, the harbounnaster (acting reasonably) has remaining concerns as to the competence or capability of that person to act as a pilot, he may report to the Secretary that the person should not be issued with a pilot licence. (4) If the harbourmaster does so, the Secretary must give that person an opportunity to meet with both the Secretary and the harbourmaster to address them (at that person's option, by way of a written submission), on the harbourmaster's concerns. (5) Unless, as a result of that meeting and any written submissions made, both the Secretary and the harbourmaster are fully satisfied as to that person's competence and capability, the Secretary must not grant a licence. 25 Validity of pilot licence Unless sooner revoked, a pilot licence is valid for five years from the date of issue. 26 Revocation oflicence (1) The Secretary may revoke a licence if requested to do so by its holder. (2) The Secretary may also revoke a licence on the following grounds (a) the Secretary becomes aware that the holder has given false information, relevant to the grant of the licence, either to the Secretary or the harbounnaster: (b) the holder has demonstrated a lack of competence or capability in performing pilotage in the Avatiu pilotage area, or elsewhere, to a degree that (i) exposes either persons or property to selious risk: (ii) results in an accident or incident that the Secretary believes to be serious: (c) the holder is convicted of an offence under these regulations: (d) the holder is convicted of any other offence that casts reasonable doubt as to the competence or capability of the holder to carry out the duties of a pilot or as to the holder's honesty. 27 Secretary to give notice of revocation of licence (I) The Secretary may decide to revoke a licence without (a) giving the licensee prior notification of an intention to make that decision: (b) allowing the licensee an opportunity to make submissions as to that proposed decision. (2) However, the Secretary must give notice of its decision to the licensee once that decision has been made, and allow that licensee an opportunity to seek a review ofthat decision. 11 Rarotonga Pilotage Regulations 2017 (3) The Secretary, having considered the licensee's case in light of that review, may either confirm the earlier decision or reinstate the licence. 28 Conditions of licence (1) The Secretary may specifY conditions in any licence that the Secretary grants under these regulations. (2) At any time after granting a licence, the Secretary may vary that licence to­ (a) add a condition to an unconditional licence: (b) add an additional condition to a conditional licence: ( c) amend a condition: (d) revoke a condition.

(4) The Secretary must give notice of the Secretary's decision to the holder once that decision has been made. Capability 29 Medical examination (1) The Secretary may, at any time, require a medical examination if (a) the holder of a pilot licence has undergone medical or surgical treatment which may, in the Secretary's opinion, affect the holder's ability to safely perfOlm the duties of pilot: (b) the Secretary reasonahly believes the health of the holder of a pilot licence may affect that ability. 30 Revalidation (1) TIlls regulation applies if the holder of a pilot licence (a) is involved in any accident or incident that, in the Secretary's opinion makes it necessary to reconsider the competence and capability of that holder: (b) has not undertaken pilotage within the Avatiu pilotage area for a period of 12 months or more. (2) The Secretary in consultation with the harbourmaster may request that the holder of a pilot's licence demonstrate ongoing capability and competence to hold that pilot's licence. (3) The Secretary may require that person to carry out 1 or more of the requirements of regulation 19. Once that person successfully has done so, the Secretary must endorse the pilot licence with the fact and date of that revalidation.
