94B.—(1) This article applies to a flight by a small unmanned aircraft within the flight restriction zone of a protected aerodrome.
(2) The “flight restriction zone” of a protected aerodrome consists of the following two zones—
(a)the “Inner Zone”, which is the area within, and including, the boundary of the aerodrome;
(b)the “Outer Zone”, which is the area between—
(i)the boundary of the aerodrome, and
(ii)a line that is 1 km from the boundary of the aerodrome (the “1 km line”).
(3) In the circumstances set out in an entry in column 1 of the following table—
(a)the SUA operator must not cause or permit the small unmanned aircraft to be flown in the Inner Zone or the Outer Zone, and
(b)the remote pilot of the small unmanned aircraft must not fly it in the Inner Zone or the Outer Zone,
if the flight breaches a flight restriction set out in the entry in column 3 of the table which relates to that zone in those circumstances.
Circumstances | Zone | Flight restriction(s) |
---|---|---|
There is an air traffic control unit or a flight information service unit (or both) at the protected aerodrome, and the flight takes place during the notified hours of watch of the air traffic control unit or flight information service unit. | Inner Zone or Outer Zone | A flight at any height is prohibited unless the permission of the air traffic control unit or flight information service unit has been obtained. |
(a) There is neither an air traffic control unit nor a flight information service unit at the protected aerodrome; or (b) there is either an air traffic control unit or a flight information service unit at the protected aerodrome, and the flight takes place outside the notified hours of watch of the air traffic control unit or flight information service unit; or (c) there are both an air traffic control unit and a flight information service unit at the protected aerodrome, and the flight takes place outside the notified hours of watch of the air traffic control unit and outside the notified hours of watch of the flight information service unit. | Inner Zone | (1) A flight at a height up to and including 400 feet above the surface is prohibited unless the permission of the operator of the aerodrome has been obtained.

Outer Zone | A flight at a height of more than 400 feet above the surface is prohibited unless the permission of the CAA has been obtained. |
