It will state the fault(s) or limitations on the particular airframe and the person authorising the aircraft to fly within certain constraints. For example monitoring a crack, one flight to base only etc. That person, provided they are authorised will not have to go to a higher authority to allow it although would seek advice if circumstances allowed. On a squadron the SEngO, experienced JEngO and Eng WO would have that authorisation.
