(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Part 1 of the Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Act 2021 (“the Act”) enables directions to be given to persons involved in airspace change (i.e. an air navigation service provider, an airport operator, or another person with functions relating to air navigation) to progress or co-operate with an airspace change proposal where this assists in the delivery of the Civil Aviation Authority’s airspace strategy.
If a person does not comply with a direction, this may lead to the Civil Aviation Authority giving them an enforcement order. If that enforcement order is contravened this may result in the imposition of a financial penalty consisting of a fixed amount (not exceeding 10% of the person’s turnover) and/or a daily amount (not exceeding 0.1% of the person’s turnover) pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 of Schedule 2 to the Act.
These Regulations set out how a person’s turnover is to be determined for the purposes of calculating the amount of penalty.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
