5 Principles of Regulation
5.1 The Regulatory Framework
5.1.1 The Civil Aviation Act established the Civil Aviation Authority (the 'CAA') and provides the framework for its regulatory powers. CAP 784 State Safey Programme for the United Kingdom provides a detailed description of the UK aviation safety regulatory legal framework. The CAP is available at www.caa.co.uk/cap784.
Under the Single European Sky Framework Regulation (No. 549/2004) Member States must appoint a 'national supervisory authority'. The CAA has been appointed as the UK national supervisory authority under the Single European Sky (National Supervisory Authority) Regulations 2004 (SI 2004 No. 1958), available at: www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2004/uksi_20041958_en.pdf, and the Single European Sky (Functions of the National Supervisory Authority) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No. 3104), available at www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/uksi_20063104_en.pdf.
Pursuant to Article 246 of the Air Navigation Order 2009 the CAA is also the national aviation authority and the competent authority of the United Kingdom for the purposes of the EASA Regulations and EU-OPS.
5.1.2 The Civil Aviation Act enables further legislation, Air Navigation Orders and General Regulations to be made in order to permit the CAA to fulfil its regulatory obligations.
5.1.3 Air Navigation Orders are presented by way of Articles and Regulations, each dealing with a particular subject.
5.1.4 The CAA publishes Civil Aviation Publications (CAPs) that provide details of means of compliance with the ANO Articles and EU Regulations which are acceptable to the CAA.
5.1.5 Civil Air Traffic Services (ATS) and technical elements of associated services are principally regulated in the UK by the Air Traffic Standards Division. Regulation is achieved, as appropriate, through the grant of Approval to equipment and systems, licensing and certification of personnel, and auditing and inspecting the subsequent systems and service provision. However, this regulation is modified by SES related regulations, e.g. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1315/2007 on safety oversight in air traffic management, which establishes a safety oversight function concerning air navigation services, air traffic flow management (ATFM) and air space management (ASM) for general air traffic.
