The aerodrome boundary for licensing purposes should not be confused with boundaries established for other purposes, such as the operational boundaries used by local planning authorities.

These other boundaries may be coincident either in whole or in part with the aerodrome licence boundary, but there is no requirement for them to be so. The map forming Schedule 1 to the aerodrome licence shows the boundary of the area of the aerodrome set aside for the movement of aircraft requiring the use of a licensed aerodrome. This is the area that will be audited by the CAA's Aerodrome Oversight Inspectors, and is also the boundary of the area referred to in Condition 3 of the aerodrome licence.
