UK Civil Aviation Regulations

These are published by the CAA on our UK Regulations pages. EU Regulations and EASA Access Guides published by EASA no longer apply in the UK. Our website and publications are being reviewed to update all references. Any references to EU law and EASA Access guides should be disregarded and where applicable the equivalent UK versions referred to instead.



Registered owners of aircraft must tell the CAA immediately about any changes to their details, these are:

  • Any change in the information supplied to the CAA when applying for the registration of the aircraft.
  • The destruction of the aircraft, or its permanent withdrawal from use; or
  • In the case of an aircraft registered under article 26(4), the termination of the charter by demise.

We do not insist that you use your private residential address but do recommend that you use the most appropriate address for the distribution of safety related material which could be a PO Box, business or club address.
