Consultation on changes to UK Regulations recognising physical or electronic format personnel licences and medical certificates

Closes 22 Jun 2025

FISO (Flight Information Service Officer)

Air Navigation Order 2016

The proposed wording for the Air Navigation Order enables the introduction of Flight Information Service Officer licences in electronic format as an alternative to those issued in the physical format. These amendments follow ICAO Annex 1 however, this licence is sub-ICAO.

The Key proposed amendments include:  

  • An amendment of wording regarding the requirement for a licence to be signed and/or returned to facilitate the use of electronic personnel licences as well as licences in physical format. 
  • An amendment to facilitate relevant third-party access to records, subject to all provisions of General Data Protection Regulation and the Civil Aviation Act.   
6. Do you agree with the proposal to amend the legislation to permit either physical or electronic form of licence or certificate to be issued?
