## Used for these tasks

- [Apply for a discretionary aviation security identification card](https://ailawframework.com/practice/aviation-drones-and-space.md#A60-Q20261018-6)

## How AI may be used

The tool lists the documents the AusCheck page asks for and the dates the lawyer supplies, and the lawyer decides what is lodged.

**AI may:**

- Calculate 28 days from the date of AusCheck's final letter, using the date the lawyer enters, and flag the count.
- List court transcripts, the employer letter, references and other material the page describes, each marked held or not held.
- Record that there is no fee for the discretionary card itself, and that the applicant pays the cost of supporting documents.

**AI must not:**

- Do not complete the online form. That form was not opened.
- Do not predict whether the Secretary will approve the card.
- Do not describe the Tier 2 or Tier 3 offence list. That page was not opened.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Wait for the final ineligibility letter. The page says the 28 days run from the date of that letter.
- The page says the Secretary's powers are under the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005. Those regulations were not opened, so no regulation number is stated.
- A criminal-history submission is not a statutory declaration unless the lawyer decides one is required. This pack does not include one.
