## Checking plan

**Marine radio certificate**

Match the near coastal certificate to the radio certificate in the table, or to an accepted equivalent.

- What the AI does: From the certificate of competency being sought and the radio certificate on the file, mark which radio certificate the table requires, and whether the document held is that certificate or an equivalent the page accepts.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the radio certificate is the one required before the application is lodged.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Use the short range certificate for Coxswain Grade 1 and Sailing Master Coastal, and the long range certificate for the master and offshore sailing certificates in the table.
2. Accept the two named equivalent certificates, and a current AMSA Global Maritime Distress and Safety System certificate, for the level the page states.
3. Do not accept an overseas radio certificate unless it is covered by an AMSA Certificate of Recognition of the kind the page describes.
4. The lawyer decides the certificate is held before the application is lodged.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
