Policy framework for Heliport Certification and Safety Management Systems

Overview

The CAA is making proposals relating to heliport certification and safety management systems. This aligns with other work to be consulted on in 2026 with further guidance for heliports, including helicopters, powered lift and some UAS operations.

This proposal introduces a new form of heliport oversight and regulation with a risk based approach to allow for the wide array of heliport activities across the United Kingdom.
