Aircraft: Safety

Question

The majority of aviation safety requirements are contained in retained EU law. However some aviation activities, mainly related to very light aircraft and smaller airports, are excluded from the scope of the retained EU law. These activities are regulated under the Air Navigation Order 2016.
