View Full Version : ANO jurisdiction limits?
Does "UK airspace" (or whatever the ANO refers to, implicitly in say Article 140) apply to the UK FIR, including the Channel Isles, the Isle of Man and N Ireland? Or are the CI and the IOM excluded?
I know Jersey has its own "ANO" but I don't think the IOM has one.

The Isle of Man is not bound by the UK ANO, but by the Tynwald Airports and Civil Aviation Act. It is broadly similar, and also rubber stamped by Queen Betty :ok:
Their Act also gives them the right to modify any legislation enforced on the UK by European law. Clever chaps, the Manxmen ;)

Hmm. So I wonder what "The Islands" are going to do when EASA takes over Ops and Licensing...

I heared than one ex-CAA guy has gone to the IoM with a view to setting up IoM's own CofA licensing regime.
'Tis true. A guy from the CAAs Flight Ops Dept now heads up the IOM CAA (or equivalent).

As the CI are not in the EU they probably won't give a damm!

I've just checked, and the CI are not part of the EU or UK, but are part of the British Isles.
Could be a great place to live and fly!
Lister:)
The CI and the IOM are indeed great bastions of aviation freedom, and no doubt they will safeguard this, but if you live there you have to put up with very little genetic diversity :O

Actually, the Lord of Man does the rubber stamping - same person, different name!!

The CIA says she is the Lord of Mann. Not sure whose spelling is right ;)
Whatever, the islanders still seem to need to grovel though :(

What's the situation for the Scilly Isles? Is it similar to CI or is it part of the UK?
Specifically, am I obliged to file a Flight plan if I fly there?
Thanks
No FP required for Scillys, though you might like to file one for rescue purposes owing to the sea crossing.
AFAIK Scillys are fully a part of the UK, with no concessions apart from apparently not needing an MOT for their cars :)
