This Order amends Article 225 of the Air Navigation Order 2009 so that an aircraft registered in an EEA state does not require the permission of the Secretary of State to fly for the purpose of aerial photography, aerial survey or aerial work in the United Kingdom.

An impact assessment of the effect that Article 3 will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available at www.dft.gov.uk and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.

An impact assessment has not been produced in respect of Article 4 as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
