CIVIL AVIATION

This Order consolidates the Air Navigation Order 1985, as amended. In addition to some minor drafting amendments the following changes are made:A glider which is flying for the purpose of aerial work which consists of the giving of instruction in flying or the conducting of flying tests in circumstances where the glider is owned or operated by a flying club of which the person giving the instruction or conducting the test and the person receiving the instruction or undergoing the test are both members, need not be registered and need not have a certificate of airworthiness. A flight crew licence is not required by a member of the flight crew of a glider flying for the purpose of aerial work which consists of conducting flying tests in the same circumstances. If valuable consideration is given or promised for the purpose of conferring on a member of a flying club the right to fly a glider owned or operated by the flying club it shall not thereby be deemed to be a flight for the purpose of public transport for airworthiness purposes (articles 3(1), 7(1), 20(8) and 107(2)).The Authority must now cancel the registration of an aircraft within 2 months of being satisfied that there has been a change of ownership. This reflects the present practice whereby a period of grace is allowed to enable the new owner to register (article 4(13)).When a copy of the technical log or load sheet is permitted to be carried in an aircraft instead of being left on the ground it may now be so carried in any container approved by the Authority for that purpose (articles 10(4) and 29(5)).With effect from 4th December 1989, no further Senior Commercial Pilot’s Licences (Aeroplanes) (SCPL) shall be granted by the Authority (except renewals for persons holding a SCPL on 3rd December 1989). Any SCPLs which would not otherwise expire on or before 3rd December 1994 will be deemed to expire on that date (article 21(2) and Schedule 8).The privileges of a Basic Commercial Pilot’s Licence (Aeroplanes), a Commercial Pilot’s Licence (Aeroplanes) and a Commercial Pilot’s Licence (Helicopters and Gyroplanes) are being altered. Whereas the holder of a BCPL(A) has hitherto been entitled in certain cases to act as co-pilot of an aircraft flying for the purpose of public transport only if its maximum total weight authorised is 5700kg. or less and the holder of a CPL(A) or a CPL(H) has hitherto been entitled to act as pilot in command of an aircraft flying for the purpose of public transport only if its maximum total weight authorised is 5700kg. or less, he will now be entitled to act as co-pilot or pilot in command (as the case may be) of such an aircraft only if it is certificated for single pilot operation. The date on which the altered privileges come into force is determined as follows:any such licence initially issued on or after 4th December 1989 shall have the altered privileges from the outset;persons holding such a licence on 3rd December 1989 will not be affected by the altered privileges during the validity of that licence or any renewal thereof until 3rd December 1994 whereafter the altered privileges will apply.
