Oversight of UK Approved Procedure Design Organisations

The Air Navigation Order 2016 as amended empowers the CAA to approve organisations wishing to deliver IFP design services in the UK.

IFPs are regulated in the UK through the oversight of Approved Procedure Design Organisations (APDOs) and the approval of IFPs design before their implementation in the UK Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).

The specific requirements for the oversight of APDOs are described in this volume while the technical requirements for the approval of IFPs before their implementation in the UK Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), and the delivery of safeguarding services are published in CAP 785B “Implementation and Safeguarding of IFPs in the UK”.
