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.

This Safety Directive (SD) promulgates the Operational Directive issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on 14 July 2015 and is applicable to operators conducting offshore Commercial Air Transport (CAT) operations. The reason for the issue of this Safety Directive is because the CAA considers that it is in the interests of safe operations that UK registered helicopters conducting offshore operations in a hostile environment continue to be fitted with and operate Vibration Health Monitoring (VHM) equipment pending revisions to Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 (the Air Operations Regulation).
