Aerodrome manual
The manual for your aerodrome is the document describing how all operations at the aerodrome will be safely carried out.
An application for an aerodrome licence must be accompanied by an aerodrome manual.
The manual needs to describe the aerodrome's services and facilities, all operating procedures, and any restrictions on the availability of the aerodrome.
It should contain all the information and instructions necessary to enable the aerodrome operating staff to perform their duties. For a small aerodrome, the manual can be a short and simple document as long as it meets the above description.
For full details on compiling a manual, and for a check list to help you write one, see chapter 2 of our publication Civil Aviation Publication (CAP)168 Licensing of Aerodromes.
Aerodrome map
Your application must include an adequate map of the aerodrome, drawn to the scale shown on the licence application form and showing the aerodrome boundary for licensing purposes.
Sufficient information regarding the aerodrome dimensions must be available and where necessary the applicant will have to undertake a survey at their expense.
