Written Question
Aviation
Wednesday 25th July 2018

Asked by: Steve Double (Conservative - St Austell and Newquay)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 15 March 2018 to Question 132937 on Aviation, what definition his Department uses for (a) licensed and (b) certificated aerodromes.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

A certificated aerodrome is one that falls within the scope of Commission Regulation (EU) No 139/2014. Aerodromes fall within the scope of this Regulation if they are open to public use; serve commercial air transport; operate using instrument flight procedures; and have a paved runway of 800 metres or above.

An aerodrome outside of the scope of Commission Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 is required to be licensed if it meets the criteria outlined in Part 8 of the Air Navigation Order 2016. Such an aerodrome is required to hold a national licence if it is used for commercial air transport or flying training in aircraft above a specified weight.
