answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>Civilian Remotely Piloted Aircraft operations are closely regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority and are treated in the same manner as that of equivalent manned aircraft. However, until such time that remotely piloted aircraft systems can demonstrate that they are both airworthy and capable of avoiding other airspace users, all operations must be contained within segregated airspace, to which access for manned aircraft is prevented or closely controlled.</p><p> </p><p>The use of unmanned aircraft is specifically covered by the Air Navigation Order, which legislates for the ‘general’ flying aspects and the flight of those equipped for surveillance. As well as these specific articles, a more general article which prevents a person ‘causing or permitting an aircraft to endanger the safety of any person or property’ also remains applicable.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 24/11/2014 14:40:05 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2014 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government does not regulate the minimum leg room to accommodate tall people seated on buses, underground and railway trains and United Kingdom operated aeroplanes.</p><p> </p><p>Accessibility legislation for buses, underground and railway trains does require extra, defined amounts of clearance at certain percentages of seats in order to enable persons of reduced mobility to use those seats comfortably. Taller passengers might wish to make use of this additional space, although they would need to vacate those seats when needed by someone who has priority – such as pregnant women or people with mobility difficulties.</p><p> </p><p>The only regulations on aircraft seating relate to the spacing needed to ensure that passengers can evacuate the aircraft quickly in an emergency.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 20/11/2014 15:03:47 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
