2.2  Procedures applicable at a pre-existing unlicensed aerodrome:
  1. Landing and take-off shall only be performed with the permission of the person in charge of the aerodrome;

  2. Aircraft shall not fly over any area occupied by spectators or car parks below a height of 1000 FT AGL unless at such a height as will permit, in the event of an emergency arising, a landing to be made without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface; and

  3. The person in charge of the aerodrome shall ensure that on the ground, aircraft and members of the public are segregated from each other.

2.3  Procedures applicable at a temporary helicopter landing site:

  5. Landing and take-off shall only be performed:

    1. During daylight hours;

    2. When the cloud ceiling is higher than 600 FT AGL and the flight visibility is more than 3 KM;

  6. Helicopters shall not fly over any area occupied by spectators or car parks below a height of 1000 FT AGL or such height as will permit the helicopter, in the event of a power unit failure, to alight clear of the assembly, whichever is the higher;

  7. Landing and take-off shall be made in an area which has been set aside for the purpose and helicopters which are landing and taking off shall maintain a safe distance from persons located outside the area, of at least 30 metres; and

3  Designation of Hostile Environment for Helicopter Operations, including Offshore Operations, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 – Air Operations
3.1 Annex 1 to Commission Regulation (EU) 965/2012 (EASA Air Operations Regulation) contains the definition of Hostile Environment with regards to helicopter operations. (See also Air Navigation Order).
3.2 This designation and/or interpretation of a hostile environment applies only in relation to the EASA Air Operations Regulation and has no bearing on the circumstances in which the equipment requirements of the ANO apply.
3.3 Hostile environment means:
  1. an area in which:

    1. a safe forced landing cannot be accomplished because the surface is inadequate; or

    2. the helicopter occupants cannot be adequately protected from the elements;

    3. search and rescue response/capability is not provided consistent with anticipated exposure; or

    4. there is an unacceptable risk of endangering persons or property on the ground;

  2. in any case, the following areas shall be considered hostile:

    1. for over-water operations, the open sea areas North of 45N and South of 45S unless any part is designated as non-hostile by the responsible authority of the State’ in which the operations take place; and

    2. those parts of a congested area without adequate safe forced landing areas.

3.4 For the purposes of operations under 3.3(b)(i) above, the UK does not designate any of the open sea areas North of 45N and South of 45S as a non-hostile environment.
3.5 For the purposes of operations in Performance Class 3 under CAT.POL.H.420 and in accordance with ARO.OPS.215, the UK has not designated any area where helicopter operations may be conducted without a safe forced landing capability.
3.6 When conducting offshore operations under an Offshore Specific Approval (SPA.HOFO), flights shall only be planned and commenced when the significant wave height of the sea over which the flight is intended to be conducted to or from an offshore location:
  1. is 6 metres or less; and

  2. does not exceed the certificated ditching performance of the helicopter.

Once the flight has been commenced and a deterioration in sea conditions beyond the limits in (a) or (b) above is experienced, the flight may be continued in accordance with procedures detailed in the operator’s operations manual.

3.7 Interpretation of terms for use with paragraphs 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6:
  1. 'Open Sea Area': The area of water to seaward of the seaward edge of the Coastal Corridor, where one exists, or the coastline where a Coastal Corridor does not exist.

  2. 'Coastline' is deemed to include stretches of water such as river mouths and estuaries where the over water distance between the contiguous land mass does not exceed 8 NM.

  3. ‘Offshore operation’ means a helicopter operation that has a substantial proportion of any flight conducted over open sea areas to or from an offshore location.

  4. ‘Offshore location’ means a facility intended to be used for helicopter operations on either a fixed or floating offshore structure or vessel including an offshore installation or a renewable energy installation as defined in the Civil Aviation Act 1982.

  5. ‘Significant wave height’ means the average value of the height (vertical distance between trough and crest) of the largest one-third of the waves present.

  6. 'Coastal Corridor' from GM1 CAT.OP.MPA.137(b) is used for helicopters operating as Commercial Air Transport in Performance Class 3 and means:

    'A variable distance from the coastline to a maximum distance corresponding to three minutes flying at normal cruising speed.'

    For the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland), and from the coastline of islands surrounding it, the maximum distance from the coastline corresponds to three minutes flying at normal cruising speed, but to no greater than 6 NM, where conditions are suitable for coastal transit.

  7. 'Coastal Transit' from GM1 CAT.OP.MPA.137(b) in relation to helicopters operating as Commercial Air Transport in Performance Class 3 means:

    'The conduct of operations over-water within the Coastal Corridor in conditions where there is a reasonable expectation that:

    1. the flight can be conducted safely in the conditions prevailing;

    2. following an engine failure, a safe forced landing and successful evacuation can be achieved; and

    3. survival of the crew and passengers can be assured until rescue is effected.'

4  Designation of the London and Scottish Flight Information Regions as the area within which certain documents may be retained at the aerodrome or operating site in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 – Air Operations
4.1 Annexes VII (Part-NCO) and VII (Part-SPO) to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 (EASA Ops) contains the option for the competent authority to designate an area within which certain documents may be retained at the aerodrome or operating site.
4.2 The CAA, as the competent authority in the UK, and in accordance with NCO.GEN.135(b)(2) and SPO.GEN.140(b)(2) and ARO.OPS.210, has determined that the London and Scottish Flight Information Regions (FIR) are the designated areas for the purpose of these regulations.
4.3 For details of the documents which shall be carried on all flights reference should be made to the relevant Annex of the EASA Air Operations Regulations.
5  Data quality requirements - Commission Regulation (EU) 73/2010
5.1 Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 lays down 'requirements for the quality of aeronautical data and aeronautical information for the Single European Sky'. The purpose of this regulation is to strengthen and enhance the Standards for Aeronautical Information Services described in (ICAO) Annex 15.
5.2 Aeronautical Data and Information in the UK IAIP is not currently compliant with this regulation.
5.3 CAA is working to ensure that the requirements of this regulation will be met. As the UK IAIP transitions towards full compliance, data not meeting the requirements of Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010, will be suitably identified as such.
