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.

This publication provides the criteria applied by the CAA in assessing the standards of offshore helicopter landing areas for worldwide use by helicopters registered in the United Kingdom.

The ninth edition comprises updates to the material on helideck movement in Chapter 6 and the meteorological information content in Chapter 6 and Appendix E. The guidance on helideck surface in Chapter 3 has been modified and flow charts added to improve clarity, and the specifications for helideck status lights and helideck monitoring system repeater lights have been collected together with the specification for the helicopter hoist status light in Appendix J. The protocol for regulating operations to NUI’s in abnormal states contained in Appendix I has been substituted with a new, simplified version. Minor changes to Appendix K have been introduced to resolve ambiguities.
