(3) If an infringement of the collision regulations is caused by the
wilful default of the owner or navigator of an aircraft or of any
person in charge of the craft at the time, that owner, navigator or
person shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.
(4) If the infringement of the collision regulations is caused by any
wilful default, the wilful default shall be deemed to be the wilful
default of the navigator. Provided that if the navigator proves to
the satisfaction of the Court that he issued proper orders for the
observance and used due diligence to enforce the observance of the

infringement in question rested with some other person, the navigator
shall be exempt from any punishment under this provision.
