What does it take to set up a landing site?
Hi rotorheads.
A friend has some land adjacent to a riding school within the M25 and is thinking about 2 options:
1. To simply offer a service, kind of "park and ride" for their customers to fly in, do some riding and fly out. Assuming that no money changes hands and that movements take place on no more than 28 days in any 365, I believe that no authority from the CAA or planning permission is required and that pilots need only adhere to the ANO. I have already advised them to talk to the local planning authority regardless.
2. To offer a paid service to anyone who wants landing within the M25 and easy access to London (i.e. to charge handling fees), I have no idea even where to begin looking.
Advice, pointers, corrections all welcome.
Cheers
Simon
