Aviation policy and legislative development process
Our policy and legislative development process describes the steps involved in developing aviation legislation, certification specifications and other detailed specifications, acceptable means of compliance and guidance material.
The process has five stages:
- Stage 1 - Capture drivers
- Stage 2 - Define issue
- Stage 3 - Policy development
- Stage 4 - Deliver policy
- Stage 5 - Review policy
UK aviation safety policy and legislative change tracker
Projects that are mandated by the joint DfT/CAA Sponsorship Board appear in this tracker below. (Please also see statement from DfT below). This tracker sets out the status of each project, the means by which stakeholders will be consulted and links to relevant documentation (consultation documents, opinion and instruction documents, legislative or guidance outputs and consolidated legislation).
0199 Review of ORS9 Decision No. 24- Part ML MRO parts
| Ref | Issue | Driver/Change | Consultation method | Status | Links to associated docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0199 |
In December 2022, the UK CAA issued ORS9 Decision 24 permitting approved maintenance organisations to use maintained components which have been released by EASA approved maintenance organisations on an EASA Form 1 for Part ML aircraft. The UK CAA must now look at the decisions ahead regarding the acceptance of EASA Form 1s in these circumstances from 1st January 2025 onwards, whether we wish to re-issue the ORS9 decision using the same legal pathway or seek an alternative solution.
|
The current ORS9 expires on 31st December 2024. We are therefore required to make a decision on the future of this particular issue. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0198 |
Following the fatal accident of AW169 G-VSKP at the King Power Stadium (Leicester City football stadium) and AAIB’s investigation report (AAIB-25398), a need was identified to improve CS-27/29 with respect to non-structural Critical Part mandatory life limitations. This is the subject of AAIB Safety Recommendation 2023-20. The goal of this task is to introduce a definition of non-structural component mandatory life limitations and their applicability.

0194 Policy and Requirements for the Use of the Internet and Cloud-Based Systems for Air Traffic Service Systems
| Ref | Issue | Driver/Change | Consultation method | Status | Links to associated docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0194 |
Traditionally Air Traffic Services (ATS) Operational Systems and Equipment have used private-wire circuits and networks for data communications, in some cases using Internet Protocol (IP). However public Internet and non-operational IT networks (Intranets) have not been used for data communications within, and between, Air Traffic Service systems. There is now a demand for low-cost communication datalinks for low-integrity services, where loss of data or data corruption can be mitigated to have low safety impact. Where low safety impact can be demonstrated, it may be now justified to make use of the Internet, and intranets used by ANSPs |
Increased industry demand and proposals for the use of low-cost applications using the Internet and cloud-based services. Some projects have already started and highlighted the lack of clarity where these technologies can be used, and the lack of criteria to demonstrate compliance. |

0193 Electronic pilot licence and general licensing updates
| Ref | Issue | Driver/Change | Consultation method | Status | Links to associated docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0193 |
This amendment will enable the CAA to implement Electronic Personnel Licences, which are now permitted internationally by ICAO Annex 1, Amendment 178. |
The CAA wants to ensure the best possible licensing system, and the use of modern technology will assist in this improvement. The move to digital licenses makes best use of the technology available and is internationally acceptable. Other changes are necessary to improve safety and provide clarity. | Stage 3 - CAA policy development ongoing. |
0192 Hydrogen Challenge - Hydrogen as an Aviation Fuel
| Ref | Issue | Driver/Change | Consultation method | Status | Links to associated docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0192 |
To reach Net Zero flying by 2050, the aviation industry has been working on the use of hydrogen as an aviation fuel that offers the potential for no carbon emission flights. However, this use of hydrogen as an aviation fuel is at an early stage of development. As a result, industry and the CAA do not have a comprehensive understanding of the risks to aviation safety; industry has not yet developed hydrogen related standards; and the CAA has not yet developed hydrogen related policies. |
The right legal and policy framework is now required to introduce the use of hydrogen as an aviation fuel with an aim to reach net zero aviation by 2050. | Stage 3 - CAA policy development ongoing. |
0191 Medical Certificate Limitation Codes
| Ref | Issue | Driver/Change | Consultation method | Status | Links to associated docs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0191 |
Update Acceptable Means Of Compliance (AMC) to permit aeromedical examiners (AMEs) to change some (but not all) vision limitations and the time limitation (TML) on medical certificates. |
In accordance with current Acceptable Means Of Compliance (AMC), vision limitations and time limitations on medical certificates can only be removed by a medical assessor of the CAA. As pilots and ATCOs age and their need for visual correction (glasses) evolves, the endorsements on their medical certificates change. The majority of fitness assessments are undertaken by aeromedical examiners (AMEs) and, where vision limitations need updating, AMEs have to refer cases to the CAA for changing the limitations. | Stage 4 - CAA Decision No.39 published 05 July 2024. | ORS9 No.39 |

Statement from DfT
This does not necessarily represent an exhaustive list of projects, as some projects, particularly those initiated by the DfT, do not require a mandate from the DfT/CAA Sponsorship Board. However, both CAA and DfT recognise the value of having as comprehensive list as possible, so this tracker will continue to be populated with all legislative projects as far as possible. Where projects do not go through the DfT/CAA Sponsorship Board to receive a mandate, they will be added to the tracker subject to sufficient scoping and development (including with stakeholders) having taken place, and concerns around sensitivity having been met.
