These Regulations revoke and replace the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1980). They have been made principally to rectify defective drafting in those Regulations. The principal changes made in these Regulations, when compared with the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005, are as follows— 1 The enabling powers in the Air Navigation Order 2005 recited in the preamble are corrected. 2 Regulation 4 (load sheets particulars and weighing requirements) of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 has been divided into four regulations: particulars of load sheets; weighing requirements – passengers, crew and hand baggage; weighing requirements – hold baggage; and load sheets – additional provisions. (Regulations 4, 5, 6 and 7) 3 The reference in regulation 10(3) (previously regulation 7(3) of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005) to the flight manual or performance schedule, in relation to the definition of “specified”, has been simplified. 4 Regulation 13 of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 has been divided into two regulations: Minimum Navigation Performance and Height Keeping Specifications; and North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance Specification Airspace. (Regulations 16 and 17) 5 References in Schedule 2 and 3 of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 to “aerodrome at which it is intended to land” have, for consistency, been replaced by “aerodrome of intended destination” in Schedules 1 and 2. 6 Schedules 2 and 3 of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 are now Schedules 1 and 2 respectively of these Regulations. 7 Paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 of the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 2005 has been divided into two separate paragraphs: “aeroplanes of which the specified maximum total weight authorised exceeds 5,700 kg or of which the specified maximum total weight authorised does not exceed 5,700 kg and the wing loading of the aeroplane exceeds 20lb per square foot or the stalling speed of the aeroplane in the landing configuration exceeds 60 knots”; and “aeroplanes of which the specified maximum total weight authorised does not exceed 5,700 kg and the wing loading of the aeroplane does not exceed 20lb per square foot or the stalling speed of the aeroplane in the landing configuration does not exceed 60 knots”. (Paragraphs 7 and 8 of Schedule 1) Copies of Document 7030/4-NAT Part 1, Rules of the Air, Air Traffic Services and Search and Rescue (ICAO Regional Procedures, Fourth Edition – 1987) can be obtained from The Stationery Office at www.tso.co.uk and Annex 10 to the Chicago Convention can be obtained from Airplan Flight Equipment Limited at www.afeonline.com or from ICAO.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
