When the exercise of activities or the operation of aircraft, products or equipment mentioned in articles L. 133-1 and L. 133-2 presents particular risks to the safety of property and people, the Minister responsible for civil aviation may:
a) Prescribe corrective or restrictive operating measures;
b) In the event of an immediate risk, order a total or partial ban on carrying out activities or using products or equipment;
c) Ground an aircraft until the identified safety risk has been eliminated;
d) Subordinate to certain conditions or prohibit the activity in France of one or more third country aircraft operators within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the safety of third country aircraft using Community airports.
The authorisations referred to in article L. 133-1 may be withdrawn if the holder’s working methods, behaviour or the equipment he uses create a safety risk.
