This document presents the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) current position on how we will apply existing regulations to organisations wishing to operate VTOL aircraft with a pilot on board for commercial operations.
For now, existing legislation will enable and form the basis of our regulation of VTOL operations. Both CAA and industries’ collective understanding of these new technologies will grow as designs mature and actual operations commence. These experiences and increased understanding will inform the CAA’s work of amending existing legislation in the future to better enable deployment of new aviation technologies such as VTOL operations.
In the meantime, the CAA has developed this statement on how we will apply existing regulations in this area to inform and enable stakeholders’ planning operations now.
