The CAA are consulting on aerodrome design where vertiports or areas for VTOL aircraft operations differ from that of traditional aerodromes. Comments from this consultation will inform their final design proposals that will form the requirements to supplement:
- UK Reg (EU) No 139/2014 for certified aerodromes
- CAP 168: Licensing of Aerodromes for licensed aerodromes
- best practises for vertiport implementation at unlicensed aerodromes
The CAA defines a vertiport as a type of aerodrome or operating site that is used or intended to be used for the arrival, departure, and surface movement of VTOL aircraft.
The CAA invites stakeholders to give them your views, responses are requested by 15 March 2024.
