Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order makes the following changes to the Air Navigation Order 2009. Flying training and testing for the grant of a pilot’s licence or the inclusion of an aircraft rating, a night rating or a night qualification in a licence need not be conducted from a licensed aerodrome. Aircraft commanders and aerodrome operators must be satisfied as to the adequacy of an unlicensed aerodrome for the purpose of such flying training and testing before conducting or permitting it. See article 3. Aerodrome firefighters attending an aircraft emergency have powers to take action they believe reasonably necessary including a power of forcible entry to an aircraft. See article 4. The definition of a self-propelled hang-glider is simplified. The criterion of maximum fuel capacity is omitted. See article 5(1). The definition of a State aircraft is changed to reflect a change to the definition in the Basic EASA Regulation. It expressly includes search and rescue, firefighting and coastguard activites and services. See article 5(2). An Impact Assessment has been produced and a copy placed in the Library of both Houses of Parliament for the changes described in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3(1). Copies may be obtained from the Department for Transport, Great Minster House, 76 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DR. Alternatively, copies can be obtained from the Department’s website at www.dft.gov.uk. CAP 747 can be purchased from— TSO PO Box 29 Norwich NR3 1GN and is also available on line at www.caa.co.uk/CAP747.

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.
