Consultation on Guidance for Determining the Need for Air Traffic Services Provision

Overview

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is seeking views on draft guidance that provides aerodrome operators with a process to assist them in determining whether air traffic services (ATS) are required at their aerodromes.

CAP 3300a details the proposed changes to current publications that would be required.

CAP 3300 incorporates the proposed changes and seeks to provide guidance to aerodrome operators in determining whether there is a need for air traffic services provision at their aerodrome. Your thoughts on both documents are welcomed in this consultation.
