Aero Club Communique March 2022 #1
Proposal to Licence Aerodromes
The CAA have again put forward a proposal to licence aerodromes, which will have a huge impact to cost of operation of many of our airfields, and may hamper or even curtail your operations. The link below provides the proposal that will be discussed at the next Carcom. If you would please read the entire document and comment – this first section is of significance to our recreational flying activities. Also share this to any other members or non-members alike, as it affects our entire GA / RA industry. If we don't collectively comment and oppose this proposal, it will allow this proposed amendment to be promulgated.

Aerodrome types
(a) An aerodrome where charter operations take place shall be licenced as a Type A aerodrome.
(b) An aerodrome where Annex 1 aviation training excluding gliders and balloons is conducted shall be licenced as a Type B aerodrome.
(c) An aerodrome that is in the proximity of existing facilities and an aerodrome where operation may conflict or create a hazard shall be licenced as a Type C aerodrome.
139.05.10 AERODROME RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING
