This Order amends articles 99, 100 and 168 of the Air Navigation Order 2016 (“the 2016 Order”) and creates offences in respect of Annex III (Organisation Requirements for Air Operations, Part-ORO) and Annex V (Specific Approvals), Subpart K (Approval of helicopter offshore operations), of Commission Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations pursuant to Regulation (EC) No. 216/2008 (“the Air Operations Regulation”).
Articles 3 and 4 amend articles 99 and 100 of the 2016 Order which prohibit the carrying of a sporting weapon or munition of war on board an aircraft. It creates an exception where a police officer takes a munition of war on board an aircraft, provided the officer is acting in the course of the officer’s duty and the munition is removed from the aircraft before the aircraft takes off.
Article 5 makes a minor correction to article 168 of the 2016 Order.
Articles 6, 8 and 9 provide for criminal offences for breach of specified obligations relating to the Organisation Requirements for Air Operations as set out in Annex III to the Air Operations Regulation.
Article 7 provides for a criminal offence for breach of a specified obligation relating to the approval of helicopter offshore operations as set out in Annex V to the Air Operations Regulation.
