tabling member constituency	Bath
tabling member printed	Wera Hobhouse
uin	155900
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>All United Kingdom commercial helicopter operators require an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. The requirements for the granting of an AOC are set out in legislation, and are concerned with an operator’s ability to fulfil their responsibilities for safety. This approval process is not designed to take into account the environmental effect of individual flights. It would not be possible to take the views of affected residents into account because the AOC is not based on specific flying routes. Affected people with concerns over airspace or environmental effects, can inform the CAA using the <a href="http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=810&amp;pagetype=90" target="_blank">Airspace Use Report (FCS 1521) form</a> which can be downloaded from its website.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 11:38:59 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
