This policy, however, no longer applies. According to the CAA web site the airport has a UK Certificate which used to be an EASA Certificate before Brexit law was implemented so the EASA regulations as adopted into UK law presently apply to City rather than CAP168.which is the requirement for National licensed aerodromes.
Not sure I follow - if CAP168 applied when we were in EASA and following EASA regulations, how does it not apply now we aren't in EASA but have adopted EASA regulations into UK law?
