	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>Global Navigation Satellite System approaches are one element of performance based navigation (PBN). An amendment to EU Regulation 1178/2011 (the Aircrew Regulation), which came into force in 2018, provides that pilots may only fly in accordance with PBN procedures if they hold an instrument rating with PBN privileges.

In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority is continuing to engage with the European Aviation Safety Agency to expand training on the use of satellite based technology to help reduce airspace infringements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/05/2019 15:24:03 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2020 answer text <p>Under the current VAT rules, education and vocational training can be VAT exempt where it is provided by a government institution or certain regulated organisations. Providing an exemption to all pilot training would come at a cost to the Exchequer. Although the Government keeps all taxes under review, there are no current plans to change the VAT treatment of pilot training programmes.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/11/2020 16:10:21 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
