UK Civil Aviation Regulations

These are published by the CAA on our UK Regulations pages. EU Regulations and EASA Access Guides published by EASA no longer apply in the UK. Our website and publications are being reviewed to update all references. Any references to EU law and EASA Access guides should be disregarded and where applicable the equivalent UK versions referred to instead.

Unusual Aerial Activities (UAAs) wholly contained within controlled airspace are processed under either Non-Standard Flight (NSF) or Enhanced Non-Standard Flight (ENSF) clearance procedures and are subject to prior approval either by the CAA or specific ATSUs.

UAAs are events such as an air exercises, trials, aerial surveys, flying displays, formation, balloon or kite flights that could adversely affect the normal operation of other airspace users and may constitute a hazard to pilots who are not aware of the activity. The CAA requires appropriate prior notification of such activities to enable timely co-ordination and notification and to ensure that any necessary Permissions or Exemptions under the Air Navigation Order (ANO) and the Rules of the Air Regulations can be granted in good time.
