Commentary on provisions of the Act Individuals taking part in spaceflight activities etc Section 18: Training, qualifications and medical fitness
This section enables the making of "training regulations" prescribing training, qualifications and medical fitness standards for people taking part in, or otherwise engaged in connection with, spaceflight activities and the provision of range control services and working at sites used for or in connection with such activities. The term "in connection with" enables such training regulations to apply to persons working at a broad range of sites, beyond the range control facility or spaceport. For instance, relevant training facility sites might be subject to such regulations.
	Subsections (4) and (6) prohibit and make it an offence for a licence holder to allow individuals to take part in such activities or work at such sites unless they meet the requirements prescribed in training regulations. The effect of subsection (7) is that both a licence holder and individuals may commit this offence.
	Subsection (3) enables the regulator to issue guidance about how a person carrying on spaceflight activities, operating a spaceport or providing range control services may comply with training regulations.
