HC Deb 26 July 1983 vol 46 c397W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will ask the Civil Aviation Authority to prepare a code of practice for helicopter operators, with a view to its incorporation in the air navigation order; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

The Civil Aviation Authority announced recently that it will be recommending to the Secretary of State some additions to the Air Navigation (General) Regulations 1981 covering weight and performance-related limitations for public transport helicopters. Other aspects of safety are dealt with in the Air Navigation Order 1980 and related legislation.
