(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations substitute regulation 3 of the Air Force Act 1955 (Part 1) Regulations 2007 (“the 2007 Regulations”) and amend Schedules 1 and 4 to those Regulations.
Regulations 3(1) and (2) specify the competent air force authority for the purpose of authorising the discharge of an airman, the postponement of discharge and call out from the reserve. Regulation 3(3) provides that where section 18(1)(b) (validity of attestation and enlistment) of the Air Force Act 1955 applies, the Air Secretary is authorised to discharge an airman. Regulation 3(4) and 3(5) maintains the existing position, that a duly authorised officer is also authorised to discharge an airman.
Regulation 4 replaces Schedule 1, and specifies the reasons for or circumstances in which an airman may be discharged, and the competent air-force authority for each ground.
Regulation 5 substitutes a new Schedule 4. It sets out the particulars to be contained in the certificate of discharge. The amendment removes the requirement for a physical description of the airman to be included.
