Description

This authorisation enables the Authorised Person to prevent aircraft flying in accordance with the provisions of Article 232 of the Air Navigation Order 2009.

An Article 232 Authorisation should not be confused with another CAA authorised power granted to certain aerodromes under The Civil Aviation (Chargeable Air Services) (Detention and Sale of Aircraft) Regulations 2001, and The Civil Aviation (Detention and Sale of Aircraft for Eurocontrol) Regulations 2001.  It is very important that the correct Aerodrome staff, holding an in date authorisation, use the correct power when the need arises.  The Aerodrome Manual should include those persons issued with a 232 authorisation.
