This Order consolidates the Air Navigation (No. 2) Order 1995, as amended. In addition to some minor drafting amendments the following new provisions are added. An aircraft may not fly within airspace notified as reduced vertical separation minimum airspace unless it is equipped with appropriate height keeping equipment which, in the case of United Kingdom registered aircraft, must be installed, maintained and operated in a manner approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (articles 48, 49 and 129). Aeroplanes registered in the United Kingdom that are powered by one or more turbine jets or by one or more turbine propeller engines must be equipped with a terrain awareness and warning system: by 1 January 2001 if first issued with a certificate of airworthiness on or after that date, operating for the purpose of public transport, and weighing more than 15,000 kg or certified to carry more than 30 passengers; by 1 October 2001 if weighing more than 5,700 kg or certified to carry more than 9 passengers, whether or not flying for the purpose of public transport if not equipped with a ground proximity warning system before 1 April 2000; by 1 January 2005 if weighing more than 5,700 kg or certified to carry more than 9 passengers, whether or not operating for the purpose of public transport if equipped with a ground proximity warning system before 1 April 2000. Aeroplanes operated under and in accordance with the terms of a police air operator’s certificate are not affected by this requirement. (Schedule 4). A helicopter registered in the United Kingdom and weighing 5,700 kg or less which is flying for the purpose of public transport either in instrument meteorological conditions or at night with visual ground reference, must carry either two pilots or one pilot and an autopilot. A helicopter flying for the purpose of public transport at night with visual ground reference must be appropriately equipped depending on whether it is flying with one or two pilots. Every pilot included in the flight crew of a helicopter flying for the purpose of public transport whose licence does not include an instrument rating but who is intended to fly at night under visual flight conditions must be tested by the operator as to his competence (article 20 and Schedules 4 and 10). All provisions other than Articles 27(2), 122 and 134 rely on the domestic powers.

Transport Bill Lords · Lords Chamber · 26 October 2000 · Lord Macdonald of Tradeston
My Lords, if one wishes to throw the issue open so widely, it would cause concerns that we need not address in this Bill. It has never seemed appropriate in the past to consider parachutists. I do not know whether it has suddenly come as an insight to the noble Viscount, but it is not an issue to which we have addressed much attention in the past, nor do I intend to do so today. I can tell the House that the CAA consulted on this issue during the summer. The main proposal in the consultation paper was that the CAA should, after consultation with the Secretary of State, have a power of…
Light Aircraft Insurance And Regulation Commons · Westminster Hall · 8 May 2001 · Mr. Hill
It certainly was his decision, and it is a matter of the pilot's judgment. However, I want to explain the conditions, which are clearly laid down in law, that may guide the pilot's judgment in those circumstances. The only way for provision to be made for compensation to be paid when such uninsured losses occur would be for the industry to introduce a scheme similar to that established for road vehicles, by the Motor Insurers Bureau. The hon. Member for Bosworth mentioned that body, as did other hon. Members. However, it is doubtful whether such a scheme would be economically viable, given…
Anti-Terrorism, Crime And Security Bill Lords · Lords Chamber · 3 December 2001 · The Minister of State, Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)
The question went beyond me. Do I take the same provisions to apply to fines as to imprisonment? The reason we are increasing the level of fines from what it was prior to the passing of the Act to what is proposed in the Bill is that we do not think a level 1 fine adequately conveys the concerns that we have on the issue; it would not be proportionate to the offence; and it would be unlikely to act as a deterrent. Trespassing on an aerodrome would involve a deliberate attempt to circumvent access controls and has safety and security implications. The proposed penalty of level 3 on the…
Aviation (Offences) Bill Lords · Lords Chamber · 13 June 2003 · Lord McIntosh of Haringey
My Lords, the Government take very seriously the problem of disruptive passenger behaviour on aircraft. It became a matter of increased public concern when there was a serious incident in 1998: a stewardess was attacked and injured on board a UK aircraft. After that incident—which I am sure the noble Baroness, Lady Trumpington, will remember—the Government took action in two ways. First, we set up a disruptive passengers working group, chaired by the Department for Transport and including representatives from the Civil Aviation Authority, the Home Office, the police, airlines and unions. We…
