(1) A person shall not provide at any place any type of air traffic 
control service or an aerodrome flight information service or hold himself
out, whether by use of a radio call sign or in any other way, as a person who
may provide any type of air traffic service or an aerodrome flight 
information service unless:

   (a)  in the case of an air traffic control service, he is the holder, and
        complies with the terms of:

        (i)    a valid student air traffic controller's licence granted under
               this Order and he is supervised in accordance with Article
               65(3) of this Order; or

        (ii)   a valid air traffic controller's licence so granted authorizing
               him to provide that type of service at that place; or

        (iii)  a valid air traffic controller's licence so granted which does
               not authorise him to provide that type of service at that
               place, but he is supervised by a person who is present at the
               time and who is the holder of a valid air traffic controller's
               licence so granted which authorises him to provide at that
               place the type of air traffic control  service which is being
               provided; or

   (b)  in the case of an aerodrome flight information service, he is the
        holder and complies with the terms of an aerodrome flight information 
        service officer's licence granted under this Order authorising him to
        provide such a service at that place: Provided that a licence shall
        not be required by any person who acts in the course of his duty as a
        member of any of Her Majesty's naval, military or air forces or a
        visiting force.

(2) The holder of an air traffic controller's licence shall not be entitled to
perform any of the functions specified in Schedule 10 to this Order in respect
of a rating at any place unless:

   (a)  his licence includes that rating and the rating is valid for the place
        at which, and the type of radar equipment, if any, with the aid of
        which, the functions are performed; or

   (b)  he is supervised by a person who is present at the time and who is the
        holder of a valid air traffic controller's licence granted under this
        Order which authorizes him to provide at that place the type of air 
        traffic control service which is being provided.

(3) A person shall not provide any type of air traffic control  service or an
aerodrome flight information service unless he identifies himself in such a
manner as may be notified.

any person to operate manually any direction-finding equipment for the purpose
of providing air traffic control service to an aircraft at a time when he is
providing air traffic control service or making signals to that aircraft or to
another aircraft.

(5) Nothing in this Article shall prohibit the holder of a valid air traffic
controller's licence from providing at any place for which the licence
includes a valid rating, information to aircraft in flight in the interests of
safety.
